Don't Think Twice It's Alright was taken directly from a song Paul Clayton sang called "Whose Gonna Buy You Ribbons When I'm Gone."
Bob Coltman, a Mudcatter, wrote a very good biography of Paul Clayton. It is called Paul Clayton and the Folksong Revival (Scarecrow Press).

Amazon and Camsco have it. And it is filled with the whole story. Bottom line: Clayton got no credit from Dylan---and worse, he got no cash at a time he badly needed both of those. Paul Clayton made something like fifty LPs of American folk songs---a huge amount. He was only marginally talented though, and watched B.D. and aspects of the revival being lionized while he, as he saw it, was left out.

There's more to it, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to know some of what went down back then. It's a grand lesson in why a singer ought not over estimate their own importance in this little musical nitch we call the folk scene. --- As Jerry Rasmussen has said, "In folk music, there is no such thing as a career move."

Be realistic!!! It's in your best interest.

Clayton was a driver for Dylan for a while.
