Your words are similar. I read it in a speech class that year...stunned the class, got an A. Later I researched the song. Turns out, as I recall, it comes from a British vaudeville type entertainer, who recorded it quite a while before Dylan. I think the name was Lord ...someone. This is one of the few stories I have memorized and occasionaly play. I even named my son's middle name Hezikiah. I quess the story left quite the impression.
