I've always heard it as "Mr. Bob," which I took to mean Bob Dylan, but I can't say for sure. The only time I ever saw Dylan with a mandolin was on the cover of The Basement Tapes, where he's pretending to play it like a fiddle.<br><br>Great song, though.

And what about that mysterious lyric, which I interpret as being: "Mr. Bob and his mandolin dancing in the air"? Every lyrics site has it as "My barman's mandolin dancing in the air." I'm putting my money on my above version, i.e. Mr. Bob. (Dylan, perhaps? Did he ever play a mandolin?) Perhaps Mr. Bob was a church youth leader who sang songs at church camp, whilst Mr. Elefante had his first crush. Not sure why he would be dancing in the air, though. Maybe he fell in love at his first renaissance fest. Almost nothing known about this song is posted online.
