The Basement Tapes - may/october 1967 Clearly a quite unfinished transcription Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin? Who's gonna let it down an' roll? Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin? Who's gonna throw it all or let him go home? Oh, he got pretty in his spell Old time pigeon[?] i can't tell Well he's lookin' down and blue With all his ladies, he's lonely still. Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin? Who's gonna let it roll? Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin? Who's gonna throw it all or let him go home?

31 Aug 1969 SELF PORTRAIT MINSTREL BOY (T-127) ISLE OF WIGHT (vinyl bootleg)

Woodside Bay, Isle of Wight Festival of Music - 31.aug.1969 Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin? Who's gonna let it roll? Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin? Who's gonna let it down easy to save his soul? Oh, Lucky's drivin' a long long time There he still sits on top of the hill Well[?] aching[?] jumpers[?], with all laid[?] down With all of them ladies, you know he's lonely still. Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin? Who's gonna let it roll? Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin? Who's gonna let it down easy to save his soul? Well knee deep in number an' heavy in toil Mighty mockingbird he's still such a heavy load Beneath his boundaries, but more if i can tell With all of these travelin' but i'm still on that road. Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin? Who's gonna let it roll? Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin? Who's gonna let it down easy to save his soul?
