Whether the valley below is Hades or whether it is simply a case of popping off down the hillside… well that’s for each individual listener to decide.For me, you don’t leave the great love of your life, or the guru you’ve just found, by saying, “I’ll just have one more cup of coffee.” Rather, you might do that, having had a jolly afternoon or evening and so then you say…The influence of the visit to the gypsy camp, as per the story of the old king, now surrounded by the remains of his family, comes through strongly in the second verse, emphasised all the way through by the violin playing.The whole Romany notion of fortune telling, mystery and illiteracy is explored in the third verse, particularly with its last two lines…She is thus the unknown, and unknowable, remote woman.
But the ‘valley below’ probably came from someplace else.
Somehow I watched his mouth with one eye and the lyrics with the other. I mean we basically shook hands and started recording. That song was written during a gypsy festival in the south of France one summer. One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee 'fore I go To the valley below. An interesting experience for an afternoon, not the love of his life.Emmylou Harris who sings the vocals told this story about making the album, which gives us a very good insight into the way Dylan has always liked to make recordings…“There was a fellow at Columbia that was a fan, who was like an executive producer, and I think Dylan told him ‘I need a girl singer.’ Don DeVito was his name and I got a call that Dylan wants you to sing, but that wasn’t true because he just wanted a girl singer.
A dissipation of happiness; a loss. Everything in quotes. Somebody took me there to the gypsy high holy days which coincide with my own particular birthday. I didn’t know the songs, the lyrics were in front of me, and the band would start playing and he would kind of poke me when he wanted me to jump in. Song for me is summed up by two words – lingering & longing – fits well into album title Desire !had no idea it was gypsy oriented which explains why always loved it even tho never heard words proplerly til now ! No, [One More Cup of Coffee] is a gypsy song. This link is included in The Bob Dylan Project at: Recently learnt this song( slight chord difference)…and yet to play it in public(open mike)Nice article ! The thing about Dylan’s songs, is that they are quite symbolic, and although definite, they allow you to interpret the same emotions in your own way.i always thought the song was about a fleeting love affair with a gypsy woman maybe the only one of the gypsie kings daughters that stayed loyal to her father as in your sister reads the future like your mother and yourself , you don’t know how to read and write there no books upon your shelf … i am here trying to get what the ‘valley below’ is that’s all Icky, I came here for the same reason. There is a version with Emmylou Harris Thank you for a great piece of interesting and informative writing. No, [One More Cup of Coffee] is a gypsy song. Of course he might, but I think the case is not proved – at least not proven for me.The lady in this song is beautiful but remote and distant, and very much not one who gives her emotions to another…And so the singer is on his way to the valley, after something as prosaic as a cup of coffee. So somebody took me to a birthday party there once, and hanging out there for a week probably influenced the writing of that song. Rivera was unknown at the time although has since made a dozen or more albums. But ‘valley below’ could mean anything. gorgeous songI think it’s not so much the coffee, or the valley, as it is the concept of the situation. What it means to “go to the valley below”.
Both of these represent the reluctance to leave. My feeling about the song was that the verses came from someplace else. To learn what the valley below is meant to be.I first heard the song quite recently on the Netflix special “Rolling Thunder Revue”, after that I bought and downloaded several live albums from that tour.
