About This Track

“Maggie’s Farm” is a song written by Bob Dylan, recorded on January 15, 1965, and released on the album Bringing It All Back Home on March 22 of that year. Like many other Dylan songs of the 1965-66 period, “Maggie’s Farm” is based in electric blues.

The song, essentially a protest song against protest folk, represents Dylan’s transition from a folk singer who sought authenticity in traditional song-forms and activist politics to an innovative stylist whose self-exploration made him a cultural muse for a generation. (See “Like a Rolling Stone” and influence on The Beatles, etc.)

    Well I try my best to be just like I am, but everybody wants you to be just like them. They say: "Sing while you slave", and I just get bored. Awesome!

    I like this song a lot, but Rage against the machine did an awesome cover of this, very very original, and the later is my favorite.

    "Washing windows on the Bowery at a quarter to four, 'Cause he ain't gonna' work on Maggie's farm no more." Nice line from the Beastie Boys "Johnny Ryall"
