The single sheet of paper shows the American
singer's creative musings as he drafted "Most Likely You Go Your
Way", one of the album's most memorable songs.
What makes the manuscript particularly interesting, however, is
the presence of a second, abandoned song typed over twelve lines
across the top half of the page.
It contains a repeated refrain about "running with the devil",
before ending in fragments with the words: "It's just me and you
.. Far from home/ there we were far from calvery (sic)".
The manuscript is valued at £12,000 - £15,000 ($15,000 -$19,000)
and will be open to bidding online until May 12.
The 78-year-old singer-songwriter is regarded as the voice of a
generation for songs that captured the 1960s spirit of rebellion
and independence. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016
for "having created new poetic expressions within the great
American song tradition".
The combination of typescript and manuscript is typical of
Dylan's mid-60s drafts.
