Thread Name: Obscure Dylan song: Fare Thee Well? / Farewell
Subject: Obscure Dylan song
I sang a song at my high school graduation (1970) song written by (I think) Bob Dylan or at least credited to him it may have been an adaptation. The song is called (again I think) Fare Thee Well My Own True Love. The melody is very beautiful although I am not a musician I am sure it is derivative but the lyrics went something like this. It ain't the leavin' That's a greivin' Me but the poor gal,(girl, wife,etc) that I leave behind.

I just recently remembered this song and thought it would be nice to get the song on my mp3 etc but haven't been able to even find a reference to the song. Perhaps I wrote the song in my sleep and should go to my keyboard and pick it out and sell it.? I am sure that I am not talented enough to have written such a beautiful song. Thanks..
