Dylan quotes the Humphrey Bogart films "Key Largo", in which is said "Think
this rain would cool things off, but it don't" and "Didn't I take chances."
From another Humphrey Bogart film, "The Maltese Falcon," two more lines
are quoted: "I'll have some rotten nights after I've sent you over, but
that'll pass" and "I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble."
Well, I thought that the rain would cool things down
But it looks like it don't.
Didn't I take chances?
Well, I have had some rotten nights,
Didn't think that they would pass.
Well, I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles
