this post to HWY-61L by Ray Schweighardt:
"As some of you may know, I have been researching The Beatles' January 1969
"Get Back" sessions for many years. New tapes show up sporadically, and one
has just recently surfaced that contains a very interesting song. After
John completes a brief performance of "Annie", a song he wrote for Ringo to
perform in 1967 (it has never been released in any form), George states
"there's one Dylan wrote and it goes likes this ...". He then precedes to
perform a half-finished song apparently entitled "Maureen". The verse
begins "Everybody's finger-pickin', B and C and D and ...." and the chorus
is simply "Maureen, oh Maureen" over and over. See other pages of this directory for information about I'D HAVE YOU ANYTIME and NOWHERE TO GO. |

| MILK AND BUTTER AND CHEESE AND EGGS (?) | 1961 | N? |
| Thanks to Harvey Bojarsky
(bojarsky@concentric.net)
for posting this information to rec.music.dylan: "Peter Stampfel, founding member of the Holy Modal Rounders and The Fugs, was in solo performance last night in NYC. After playing "Eight More Miles To Louisville", he told the following: "When Bob Dylan was starting to write songs, for a short period, him and me and Jim Kweskin and the Greenbriar Boys were working at the Gaslight Cafe in 1961 and Dylan was teaching himself how to write songs by writing new words to the songs in the Smith Anthology which is exactly the way to start learning to write songs if you want to do it the right way. And, so... anyway, he wrote new words to this song for me and they're awful. It was all about milk and butter and cheese and eggs and all these Wisconsin clichés... and he's from Minnesota so he should know. But I should' a kept the words. But I didn't. Who knew?'" |

| MOLLY CLIFF | Bob Dylan/Kevin Colgan/Bob Patrick/Brooks McPhail/Alex Russell, 1993 | N? |
| Kevin Colgan, Bob Patrick, Brooks McPhail and Alex Russell are members of a band called Molly Cliff. This item is described in the copyright entry as "re-arrangement of some Bob Dylan music and some additional words and music". Released on a CD, presumably of the same name, in October 1993 - more details required | ||

"The Masked Marauders" (Deity/Reprise 6378, USA, 1969) - spoof album including
fake Dylan song MORE OR LESS HUDSON'S BAY AGAIN
| MORE OR LESS HUDSON'S BAY AGAIN | 1969 | N? |
| One of the songs supposedly by Bob on the 1969 spoof album "The Masked Marauders" (Deity/Reprise 6378, USA, 1969), who were supposed to be a secret supergroup including Bob Dylan, John, Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Mick Jagger. This was generated by a spoof album review in "Rolling Stone" magazine for 18 Oct 1969. See the "C" page for COW PIE | ||
| MORE THAN FLESH AND BLOOD | Bob Dylan/Helena Springs, 1978 | R C |
| Rehearsed at Rundown Studios, Santa Monica, CA, Sep 1978 with vocals by Helena Springs. Thanks to Tim Dunn for the information that the Rundown recording was copyrighted in 1979 and started circulating in 2002. Also thanks to Tobias Levander for pointing out that a previously unidentified performance by Bob at the soundcheck, New Haven, CT, 17 Sep 1978, is also this song with different lyrics - it was included on a tour playlist but never actually performed for an audience. This song was also performed at a soundcheck at Omaha, NB, 4 Nov 1978 when it was given the incorrect title of YOUR ROCKING CHAIR | ||
| MORE TO THIS THAN MEETS THE EYE | 1981 | S |
| Instrumental recorded during "Shot Of Love" sessions, Cream Studios, Los Angeles, CA, 01 Apr 1981 | ||
Songs For Lonely Americans by "Sir Vincent Lone" (Return To Sender
Records, Germany, 2004/Cooking Vinyl Records, UK, 2006) containing the Dylan "co-composition"
MOSCOW TRAIN
| MOSCOW TRAIN | Jackie Leven/Bob Dylan, 2006 | N |
| In "The Telegraph", issue 51, Scottish singer Jackie Leven, former leader of punk band Doll By Doll, recounts how he met Bob Dylan in a Berlin hotel bar on 5 Oct 1988, and subsequently travelled with him by train from Berlin to St. Petersburg in Russia. For more details see AS WE SAILED INTO SKIBBEREEN. Leven has now written this second "co-composition", of which he claims in his introduction when performing live that Bob suggested the line "A closed-eyed woman is looking at me on a Moscow train". Bob is supposed to have said this when describing his experience on the Moscow subway system in Oct 1985. The song is included on a 2004 German album "Songs For Lonely Americans" (Return To Sender Records) which Leven recorded under the pseudonym of "Sir Vincent Lone" for copyright reasons. Bob is not credited. Thanks to Artur Jarosinski for all this information. Thanks to Tim Dunn for information that the album was released on Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK on 11 Sep 2006 | ||
| MOST DEFINITELY NOT VAN GOGH | 1966 | H |
| Song worked on in a hotel room in Denver, CO, 12-13 Mar 1966 - the definite title is unknown, and this is almost certainly a guess. Also known as POSITIVELY VAN GOGH and SPURIOUSLY SEVENTEEN WINDOWS (THE PAINTING BY VAN GOGH)! | ||
| MOTHER LIONS | Bob Dylan/Willie Dixon/Clay Mitchell, 1981 | N? |
| Described as "a rhythm and blues musical drama", this is a play by Clay Mitchell that incorporates some lyrics by Bob Dylan and some by Willie Dixon. | ||
| MOTHER | 1963 | N? |
| Early song mentioned by Bob during his interview with Studs Terkel on "The Studs Terkel Wax Museum" radio show, WFMT radio, Chicago, IL, recorded 26 Apr 1963, broadcast 3 May 1963. He apparently wrote in the 5th Grade at school for his mother. No recording is known. Thanks to Avery Holland for reminding me of this. This song isn't listed in Clinton Heylin's book "Revolution In The Air - The Songs Of Bob Dylan Vol. 1: 1957-73" (Constable, 2009), but he does mention in passing "some doggerel on Mother's Day and Father's Day" from Dylan's teens which may refer to the song in question | ||
| MOTHER REVISITED | 1965 | O |
| VISIONS OF JOHANNA, released on "Blonde On Blonde", was introduced by Bob with this title in Melbourne, Australia, April 1966. He may be referring to the previous song | ||
| MOVIN’ | 1981 | N? |
| Instrumental recorded during "Shot Of Love" sessions at United Western Studios, Los Angeles, CA, 02 Apr 1981, also known as WAIT AND SEE | ||
Boo! (Rykodisc, USA, 2008) from Was (Not Was) with MR. ALICE
DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANY MORE
| MR. ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANY MORE | Bob Dylan/Don Was/David Was, 1990 | N? |
| Alternate title of a song recorded for the Don Was-produced album "Under The Red Sky", recorded at The Complex, Los Angeles, CA, March 1990, and listed by Clinton Heylin as SHIRLEY TEMPLE DON'T LIVE HERE ANY MORE - see that entry. The Dylan version is not circulating, but the song was recorded by Was (Not Was) with this title in the early 1990s, although not released. They performed it live on radio as part of a Dylan tribute called "Oh Merci", broadcast on KCRW radio, Santa Monica, CA, on 04 Jul 1993. Thanks to Gil Walker for this quote from Don Was: "There's one song that we wrote with Bob Dylan when I was producing "Under the Red Sky." We were sitting around watching "I Dream of Jeannie" in the lounge, and I thought, 'This was kind of a waste. You work all your life to be able to hang out with your hero and then you end up watching "I Dream of Jeannie."' So at the time, my wife [then in A&R for Virgin Records] had signed Paula Abdul so she was about to record her second album. So I said, 'Let's write a song for Paula Abdul.' So Bob shut the TV off and he, David and I wrote "MR. ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANY MORE." It was released belatedly on their Rykodisc album "Boo!" (Rykodisc RCD-10943, USA, 2008) - thanks to Jack from Canada for the scan | ||
| MR. RAGAMUFFIN MAN | ||
| This is one of the titles on a hoax tape called "The Pittsburgh Radio Tape" listed by Paul Cable in his book "Bob Dylan - His Unreleased Recordings" - see DEATH LETTER BLUES. RAGAMUFFIN MAN was a hit for Manfred Mann in 1969, and they were known for recording unreleased Dylan songs like THE MIGHTY QUINN, so this may be the connection here | ||
| MY GIRL | 1965 | O |
| Recording session sheet title of SHE BELONGS TO ME, released on "Bringing It All Back Home" - also called WORSE THAN MONEY | ||
| MY GIRL (IT’S GROWING) | 1981 | N? |

| MY LOVE WAITS LIKE SILENCE | 1965 | O |

| MY OWN TRUE LOVE | 1962 | D M R |
| Alternate title of FAREWELL, circulating in several performances from Dec 62 to May 63 | ||
| MY PREVIOUS LIFE | Bob Dylan?, 1970 | N? |
| Recorded during "New Morning" sessions at Columbia Studios, New York, 05 Mar 1970 (no CO no.) | ||
| MY LA-LA/MY TRUE LA LA | Ray Price/Leonard McRight, 1989 | L |
| MY LA- LA is a title guessed by Clinton Heylin for HEY LA LA, a country cover performed in May-July 1989, sometimes also seen as MY TRUE LA LA (a phrase from the chorus) | ||
| MY WOMAN, SHE'S A-LEAVIN' | Bob Dylan/one or more members of The Band, 1966-68 | N? |
| An otherwise unknown song listed by Tim Dunn in his new book "The Bob Dylan Copyright Files: Supplement 1" (Rolling Tomes, 2000) - no recording or performance is known. It was copyrighted under this name in 1976 but may be the same song as ON A RAINY AFTERNOON, which shares this theme | ||
