    Chorus:
    Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
    Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
    I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
    I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
    I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin’
    I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin’
    I saw a white ladder all covered with water
    I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
    I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
    And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
    And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall

      Yeah, it sounds like the song "Lord Ronald" sung by John MacDonald.. "What had you for dinner Lord Ronald my son...what had you for dinner my handsome young man".... (where have you been my blue eyed son, and where have you been my darling young one)... it probably is a very old song older than the Bob Dylan version.

      I differ to beg with you--There are plenty of Dylan covers that are great. My favorite is Bill Camplin: See if you can get your hands on a copy of Bill Camplin's "Dylan Project One", 2003. "I was wanting to write / brilliant liner notes / but could not / Best reason to do Bob Dylan material / It needs no liner notes" It's a little hard to track down but you won't be disappointed if you do.

      Dear RoofRack2 - I was just explaining this to my wife this very night. I am very blessed, if you don’t mind me explaining, to have a wonderful wife from Persia, or Iran, as we know it. Despite the disgraceful portrayal of Iranian people in western media, Iran is a land of poets - truly. Whereas myself and yourself might think of Shakespeare or James Joyce or Emily Dickinson or Walt Whitman, there are truly many, many Iranian poets both living and historical - Hafiz, khayam, Ferdowsi and Rumi to name few. Nonetheless, after a wonderful evening with great friends this evening I mentioned to my wife just how amazing Bob Dylan is. I was amazed to think how, after 6 years of marriage we hadn’t really spoken about the genius that is a Bob Dylan. Anyway, I related to her that like the great American forefathers, Bob Dylan was a true, genius poet from the USA who had influenced pretty much everyone since the Beatles up until many people of the present day.
      It was a strange moment. I realised I had spent the last 20 years of my life discovering poets of the world only to come back to the genius I started listening to 20 years ago. I had the definite feeling that Bob Dylan is truly one of the world’s greatest poets. It made me very happy to speak to Iranian expletive about this genius just as I am happy to speak to us westerners about the great poets of Persia.
      But it was just interesting - I don’t think there has walked a greater poet than this man - and in song form too.
      I’m going on a little now but I am a great fan of the USA. I think your country is extremely important in the worlds development and I thank God for heroes like Bob Dylan.
      Many thanks to you guys.

    Well if we were millions to hang on every one of his words for 60 years, it means that his voice conveyed something that became part of our inner self. It seems to me that every single singer dreams his voice be able to have this impact. Singing is not about technique, it s about vibrating of sensibility.

      it's about feelling what you sing. He's the author of his songs, so he absolutly feells. There are songs he performed in a different way on concerts. For instance, i adore "Mr. Tambourine Man", but i didn't liked the way he sang it at one of concerts. Words were broken. "Tommo...row", "So....row". But on some smaller concerts he performed it perfectly. of course, he was performing his feelings at certain moment. Many years after appearing of the song, he couldn't feel it the same way

      This is my favorite song of his, and one of the greatest songs ever written in my estimation, but I'll quibble about ''no mistakes''. I think his guitar playing barely survives the last two beats, but Dylan manages to just make it to the finish line. Given how perfect the overall performance was, I'd have been loathe to redo it, and it was one of those mistakes, if it was a mistake, with a ton of character.

      @Spencer Phelps True... to a certain extent. Really, I did not wish to go down that path but since you mention it I have to say that I was thinking white man's R'n'R. Again, it's true that this form of R'n'R stripped the Blues and R'n'B of it's soul, literally, turning it into a teenage form of only dancefloor love songs. That said, although Blues and jazz had soul well beyond any other form of popular music, save a few exceptions, it was neither systematically protest nor topical (until the advent of Rap). Dylan may have drawn a lot from the blues (certainly has), as well as other forms of music, but he put back soul and mind into R'n'R.

      I also watched Ken Burns and Lynn Novick's 'The Vietnam War....it impressed me so much i bought the box set of 10 cds and like you say this opening track from Dylan was so fitting for what was to come. I also thought that Paul McCartney's 'let it be' was a very fitting song at the end.....but I know there is no "end" for so many veterans and their families on BOTH sides......

I'm thankful he's still making music, thankful we've had him for all these years. He's given us so many important messages and good storytelling.

    I grew up a mad Bowie fan: his theatrical, musical and lyrical endeavour and creation is unsurpassed. But.....I listen to everything Bob Dylan has created and I can't ignore the fact that this human being is beyond incredible. His social comment, his musicality, his image, his wordsmith...ahhh!! I could go on. But I ask myself, 'how can a human being capture the trials, tribulations, joy and love of humankind so succinctly as this man?

May. God always keep you young and watch over you.
      Bob does play Milwaukee quite often has a large fallowing here saw him this summer with my Son brought up my Son on his music and many others of the 60s and early 70s he does not lissin to rap or hip hop took my Son to see Neil Young 2 years ago he loved every concert Vie taken him to we went and saw jimi Hendrix review in March witch I loved the concert shirt I bought I get so many complements on wish I had bought 3 see you there I won't. be late we lost to many artist at 27 that is a time I will never forget my Brother being in Vet- Nam would have been there myself if I was 6 years older or at Woodstock I would watch the evening news and when they say 7 soldiers were killed today I always though was it him. when he came home he told me if he was ever shoot he never would have never felt it he came back a heroin addict. fallowing in his steps tried it for about 1 year never got addicted to it really did not like it and always though if I was there could have keep him off of it. After he was home it took him 15 years to quite now he has passed I remember the good times we did share
