It’s a bit more soulful.
Yes–now I will always say it that way. Thank you.
you’re welcome!

It’s also grammatically incorrect. If Bob wants the lady to recline, he should say “Lie lady lie.”
“Lie Lady Lie” would also tap into, shall we say, that ambivalence about Woman that we hear throughout Mr. Dylan’s oeuvre.

That’s why grammarians haven’t written many menorable songs.
