The lyric is consistent in that the first verse he's mad about a girl named Saffron and the second verse he's mad about a girl named Fontaine. When you were mad about someone in the sixties, it meant madly in love or had a crush on them. Fontaine is of French origin and can be a boy or girl's name. Heros Journey from Medford OregonThe lyric is "I'm just mad about Fontaine". Saffron and Fontaine were drag queens at the Green Apple.

Can’t a song be a song without a bunch of a-hats trying to diagnose every word, or phrase ! This is what made Dylan the greatest songwriter to walk this planet hate all the critics, and people who tried to put meaning to s-t where it just wasn’t… Anonymous from Boston Beantown Ma City Of ChampsY’all have to much time on your hands.
