I've never come across it on any bootlegs anywhere and I'm starting to suspect he may never have recorded a version at all - surely it would have cropped on the Bootleg Series 1-3 alongside 'Farewell Angelina' if it had? Anyway, it's a beautiful song and I thought that a collector like yourself may know more than most about whether there is a version doing the rounds.; 11:19 am

There is no Dylan recording of this song. I double-checked this with Glen Dundas earlier today (he's the compiler of a series of mega Dylan discographies, the most recent of which is TANGLED: A Recording History of Bob Dylan, Thunder Bay; SMA Services, 2004).; 3:18 pm

Cheers for helping.; 3:30 pm
