<P> Obvious similarities aside, the story and sentiments of the two songs differ . In "The Leaving of Liverpool", the narrator is bound for California by sea and promises to return . In "Farewell", the narrator mentions traveling by highway and trail, with California as one of two possible destinations, neither of them definite . As Dylan's narrator says, "I'm ramblin'...unnoticed and unknown ." While indicating they will "meet another day, another time", the traveler promises only to think of his loved one and write from "time to time", without any mention of returning . </P> <P> In 1963, folk singer Pete Seeger, who was closely associated with Broadside, recorded "Farewell" for The Broadside Ballads, Volume 2, a collection of songs Seeger selected from the pages of the magazine . Seeger's version was issued as "Fare - Thee - Well (My Own True Love)", the title from the published transcription . Judy Collins recorded it along with "Masters of War" for Judy Collins 3 as the first of many Dylan songs she would do over the next four decades . The Hillmen also recorded the song in 1963 for their eponymous first album under the simpler title "Fare Thee Well". The group featured Chris Hillman, a mandolin player who the next year switched to electric bass to become a founding member of The Byrds . </P> <P> Two recordings of "Farewell" were issued in 1964 using the simpler title from Dylan's Times They Are a-Changin' setlist, "Farewell". Anita and Helen Carter from the famed traditional folk group The Carter Family recorded it for their self - titled album . The Modern Folk Quartet also put out a version on the album Changes . One of the quartet's singers was Tim Buckley, who would later be hailed as "one of the great rock vocalists of the 1960s". </P> <P> In 1965, The Kingston Trio, who six years before led the way in establishing folk as a commercial genre, recorded "Farewell" for Nick Bob John, listing it under both titles, "Farewell (Fare Thee Well)". British skiffle musician Lonnie Donegan on The Folk Album, also released a version of the song in 1965 . Four years later, Dion DiMucci, leader of rock' n roll's Dion and the Belmonts, issued a solo folk rock album, Wonder Where I'm Bound . The album, produced by Tom Wilson, who worked with Dylan on Bringing It All Back Home, included two Dylan songs, "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and "Farewell". Other notable releases of "Farewell" in later years included Irish folk singer Liam Clancy's version on 1975's Farewell To Tarwaithie and on 1982's The Dutchman and bluegrass musician Tony Rice's on 1984's Cold on the Shoulder . </P>

So it fare thee well my own true love
