Dylan, not Dillon. My mistake.

The animals apparently brought it over from England and reworked the lyrics for the American audience.

I can remember Joan Baez singing it at Club 47 before we’d ever heard of Dylan. We folkie schoolkids of course learned it right away.

Internet says she recorded it in 1960.

The Animals butchered it. I’d shut the radio off if a DJ had the temerity to play it.

I always thought that Dylan wrote the song. We had the Dylan album and my mother hated the song because she said it was about a brothel.
