22 Nov 1961 BOB DYLAN FOLK SINGER-HUMDINGER     Just About As Good As It Gets! [Smith & Co] THE BOOTLEG (T-286)

''Bob Dylan'' recording session 2, Columbia Studio A, NYC - 20.nov.1961 Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door If i don't get the girl i'm lovin' Won't go down highway 51 no more. Well i know that highway like i know my hand Well i know that highway like i know the back of my hand Runnin' from up Wisconsin way Up to no man's land. Well if i should die 'fore my time should come Well if i should die 'fore my time should come Won't you bury my body Out on highway 51. Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door I said highway 51 runs right by my baby's door If i don't get the girl i'm lovin' Won't go down highway 51 no more.

First McKenzie tape part 2, Home of Eve and Mac McKenzie, NYC - 23.nov.1961 s [...Heavy coughs...] Have you ever been walkin' down highway 51? Have you ever been walkin' down highway 51? But i don't get the girl i'm lovin' Won't go down highway 51 no more. Well i know that highway like i know my hand Well i know that highway like i know the back of my hand Runnin' from up Wisconsin way Down to the bottom of no man's land. Well if i should die 'fore my time should come Oh if i should die 'fore my time should come Won't you bury my body Out on highway 51. There's a greyhound bus, lord, travelin' down to the ground There's a greyhound bus, lord, travelin' on down to the ground Lord if i was on that bus I'd believe i'm Greyhound bound. Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door But i don't get the girl i'm lovin' Won't go down highway 51 no more.
