Sorry but this song predates Dylan. He did do a version of it in 63 (I think) but its a traditional folk song. Here is a wikipedia link. |

Why can't Jay and Jeff get back together for a reunion tour? Is that too unreasonable to ask for? God I'd love that. |

The true masters of alternative country... this song sounds like The Sex Pistols...
too bad they started fighting with each other and broke up...
my father was born in Tupelo, Mississippi...

right. Lame... You can't take back a Dylan song like this... You're just killing the idea of singing your life away. Very bad. |

I´ve just seen the tapes...amazing talent, mind you defenders back in those days were hefty lumps, but he was not only nimble, he had strength to make those darting, swerving runs in all that mud and with those medicine balls they used to play with. |

This song goes back even further than Dylan. It is a traditional song. |

A killer "round the campfire" tune or one to jam along with on yer acoustic. Only a station like RP would play a gem such as this. Thank you!
