Could you mean "The conductor is weary. He's stuck out on the line."?

If so the song is I'll keep it With Mine, from What we did on our Holidays

Decided to give the song a listen as it has been awhile and the  lyric is "The conductor, he's weary. He's still stuck on the line"

Yes, one of the few Dylan covers that makes it sound like anything but a Dylan song.
Another is The French Girl by Ian & Sylvia, as well as by Gene Clark.
