Destiny's Sleeve [ original song ] Bob dylan - woody guthrie tribute

Bob Dylan wrote "Song to Woody as a tribute to Woody Guthrie and while the song did not use the "1913 Massacre" lyrics, it did borrow the tune to Guthrie's "1913 Massacre." Hampton writes that Bob Dylan's "Song to Woody" was written as a way for Dylan to express "his debt to this great balladeer
"Song to Woody" is one of the first ever songs written by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on his eponymous debut album Bob Dylan in 1962. The song conveys Dylan's appreciation of folk legend Woody Guthrie. The tune is based on Guthrie's song "1913 Massacre". The song also makes references to icons such as Cisco Houston, Sonny Terry and Leadbelly whose music Dylan appreciated. The line "that come with the dust and are gone with the wind" quotes the line "we come with the dust and we go with the wind" in Guthrie's song "Pastures of Plenty".
Live version of the "Song to Woody" was recorded live at Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, on 16 Mar 2000 and released on the "Things Have Changed" CD single in 2000.[
Dan Bern makes heavy references to "Song to Woody" in his song "Talkin' Woody, Bob, Bruce & Dan Blues".
David Bowie also makes reference to the song in his own tribute to Dylan, "Song for Bob Dylan", which begins with the line, "Now hear this, Robert Zimmerman, I wrote this song for you" mirroring Dylan's own "Hey, hey Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song."
