Although some folk might suspect Bob of thinking himself somehow 'too good' to do cover music, much of his 'Self-Portait' and 'Dylan' albums include his versions of other people's music: The Boxer, My Lilly of the West, Mr Bojangles (one of my favourites, which Nina Simone does a brilliant version of), Big Yellow Taxi, and Can't Help Falling in Love With You, for example.
Done originally by Gordon Lightfoot, this song has also been recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary, Paul Weller, Elvis and Bob Dylan.
