I'm out here a thousand miles from my home
Walkin' a road other men have gone down
I'm seein' your world of people and things
Hear paupers and peasants and princes and kings.
Hey, hey, Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song
'Bout a funny old world that's a-comin' along
Seems sick and it's hungry, it's tired and it's torn
It looks like it's a-dyin' and it's hardly been born.
Hey, Woody Guthrie, but I know that you know
All the things I'm a-sayin', and many times more
I'm a-singin' every song, but I can't sing enough
Cause there's not many men done the things that you done.
Here's to Cisco and Sonny and Leadbelly, too
And to all the good people that traveled with you
Here's to the hearts and the hands of the men
That come with the dust and are gone with the wind
I'm a-leavin' tomorrow, but I could leave today
Somewhere down the road someday
The very last thing that I'd want to do
Is to say I'd been hittin' some hard travelin' too.
Bob Dylan (debut) - 11 Song to Woody (02:43)
The eleventh track, Song to Woody, from the 1962 self-titled debut album 'Bob Dylan.'
how the fuck do you know what went on in that era? don't get me wrong i think joan baez is great but people always accuse dylan of stuff they have no idea about. besides baez musn't have been too heartbroken if she continued to cover his songs all through the 60s and 70s no doubt making alot of cash from them. And Baez wasn't responsible for dylan's sucess, he would have found the limelight eventually anyhow.

I love the part when he's just chilling backstage.
PS,
I'm 32 and I've been listening to his music before I was born

bob was an asshole for dumping joan baez after he got famous. it was joan who took bob on her tour before dylan was a nobody.
dylan never thanked joan for his career, he did apologize couple days ago during the premiere of baez documentary for pbs.
early on, critics were bashing dylan's songs for being nasal sounding. even though her fans were against bob's performance during baez's tour. she still loved bob and his music.
he broke her heart...this song is a tribute to joan baez.
