I'm not a big fan of bob Dylan, but this song is a work of art. Funny, many years ago the first several times I heard it, I thought at the end he finally came clean and said what he REALLY wanted was those boots.
Ian Tyson's a national treasure for Canada. His body of work is big and powerful. I was lucky enough to see him live in a small venue in Calgary several years back. When he sang this tune everybody sang it. It was like he was singing the national anthem.
beautiful vesion of this song.
