Notes

First recorded by Dylan on July 30, 1975.

Also sometimes referred to as Ballad of Joey Gallo

In an interview collected in Songwriters on Songwriting by Paul Zollo Dylan is asked about the song Joey and part of his reply is;

That's a tremendous song. And you'd only know that singing it night after night. You know who got me singing that song? Garcia. Yeah. He got me singing that song again. He said that's one of the best songs ever written. Coming from him, it was hard to know which way to take that. [Laughs] He got me singing that song again with them.
