Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues

This is a cover of Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues written by Bob Dylan. It is an outtake from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album and can be heard on The Bootleg Series vol. 1-3. In 1961, Dylan read an article about a scam artist who sold fake tickets to tourists promising a boat trip to Bear Mountain. The scam backfired. So many people showed up, that there was no room for everyone to enter the boat. Dylan was amused by the article and it inspired him to write this song.

Where the hell can i find the Bob Dylan song?! is it even on youtube?

[Stocky76]

@truckieco2 It's on The Bootleg Series Vol 1-3. The original doesn't seem to be on YouTube. To hear it do a search for Grooveshark and then on that site do a search for the song title.

I was looking for the Bob Dylan version but it's not on. Anyway, I thought that was a cracking version of the song. Ten out of ten.
