 A February 1964 performance for Canadian television was included on the DVD release of Martin Scorsese's PBS television documentary on Dylan, "No Direction Home" in 2005.The song was written following his first trip to England in December, 1962, upon what he thought to be the completion of his second album.It is debated as to whom this song is a tribute; some claim former girlfriend, Echo Helstrom, and some Bonnie Beecher, both of whom Dylan knew before leaving for New York.
