“Farewell Angelina” is a song written by Bob Dylan in the mid-1960s, and most famously recorded by Joan Baez.

Dylan attempted to record “Farewell Angelina” only once, during the first session for his 1965 album Bringing it All Back Home, and he abandoned all attempts to record the song again. Dylan’s one recording of the song was eventually issued in 1991 on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991.

The Orijinal “Farewell Angelina” – Bob Dylan

Cover versions

Joan Baez included this song on her 1965 album Farewell Angelina. In the UK the song was issued at the same time as a single. Baez’ version, though only about half as long as Dylan’s recording, was very similar in structure and showed her moving away from purefolk music with the use of string bass accompaniment. Baez has often included performances of the song in her concerts, from 1965 through the 2010s. A live version appears on 1984’s Live Europe ’83.
