"Me & Magdalena"

A few weeks ago, I happened to read some of the lyrics in Bob Dylan's "Romance in Durango" (from the Desire album), and I noticed the phrase "me and Magdalena" in the first verse:

Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun

Dust on my face and my cape

Me and Magdalena on the run

I think this time we shall escape

Of course, this reminded me of the Monkees song "Me & Magdalena."  The phrase stood out to me because, unless I'm mistaken, it's rather ungrammatical since the pronoun should come last ("Magdalena and me").  I listened to both songs recently, but I don't think there's really any connection between the two aside from this phrase.  While it might be just a coincidental similarity, I thought I'd note it all the same.

"Me & Magdalena"

Under the lines "As the sun is slowly sinking / Into a distant ocean wave," in "Me & Magdalena," the bass part descends, musically reflecting that "sinking."  Furthermore, the first two pitches are C and B, and since these form the smallest possible interval (a half-step), there's even a sense of that "slowly."
