Here's and amusing story showing that what was thought to be a revelatory poem by a teenage Bob Dylan is actually his (slight) revision to the lyrics of Hank Snow's song Little Buddy. It seems Dylan discovered the joys of "creative borrowing" when he was still a teenager. Note that Dylan subsequently covered Snow's (Now and Then There's) A Fool Such as I during the 1967 Basement Tapes sessions. A 1969 outtake of the song appears on the now-deleted Dylan album released in 1973.
