My Rough and Rowdy Ways was written by Jimmy Rogers and Elsie McWilliams and Rogers released a recording of it in 1929. Doc did an excellent cover of it, as he did with a number of Rogers songs.

I recognize Bob Dylan's genius, still sing some of his songs and consider him one of the best songwriters in history but sometime around the mid-70's I got to where I just didn't care to hear him sing any more though he has continued to write good songs.
