To the best of my knowledge, she's singing about Dylan, who, according to 
various myths and legends of the time, after being taken in, befriended, 
and succored by the Farina/Baez folky crowd, somehow managed to tic them 
off royally and left Joan jilted.  None of which really matters, except 
for the number of songs by Baez, Dylan (Just Like a Woman, etc. etc.) and 
Farina that the incident(s) engendered.  All of which may be hearsay, 
false rumor, and not worth a hoot except for--the point of this post--a 
great song that the above question reminded me of:  Morgan the Pirate, on 
one of the few Mimi and Richard Farina records, written by Richard and 
supposedly about Dylan.  I heard the tune once in the Fall of 1969 and I 
can still remember snatches of it:  in 6/8 time, ". . . and there's one 
or two hard feelings . . . one or two hard feelings  . . . left behind."
