• Bob Dylan - Went to see the Gypsy (alternative unreleased 1970)

This is a beautiful and quite different version of the song that eventually made it onto the New Morning album. It sounds like it may have been recorded with the sessionistas used on Self Portait.

Good morning to you :)

I went to see the gypsy
Stayin’ in a big hotel
He smiled when he saw me coming
And he said, “Well, well, well”
His room was dark and crowded
Lights were low and dim
“How are you?” he said to me
I said it back to him

…

Outside the lights were shining
On the river of tears
I watched them from the distance
With music in my ears…
