I was discussing with my father over the weekend what Bob may or may
not have meant on Po' Boy when he sings:

"Poor boy, layin' 'em straight - pickin' up the cherries fallin' off
the plate"

Is this another literary reference?

My thought was that cherries are seen as rich, the best. As in 'cherry
picking'. Could be that his wealth is in decline - (a bit like Like A
Rolling Stone).
Or he is scrounging from the rich.

My father said that his cherry plate could be overflowing with
richness.

Anyone have any thoughts?
