Dylan learned his version from Dave Van Ronk; forms a link in the history of this song from its country roots in the ‘30s, through Josh White’s versions, to Joan Baez and Dave Van Ronk, to its incarnation as a #1 rock hit by the Animals (which see).

This was written and recorded by Dominic Behan [‘57], who in turn borrowed the traditional melody “The Bold Grenadier”, recorded in the ‘40s by the Cambridge Singers, a variation of the English archetype “Villikins and His Dinah”. Also called “The Merry Month of May” or “The Nightingale”. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">
