Baby Let Me Follow You Down - Bob Dylan / Eric Von Schmidt cover performed by Jason Herr

Just a little history of this song from Wikipedia below:

"Baby, Let Me Follow You Down" is a traditional folk song popularised in the late 1950s by blues guitarist Eric Von Schmidt. The song is best known from its appearance on Bob Dylan's debut album Bob Dylan.

The song was adapted by Eric Von Schmidt, a blues-guitarist and singer-songwriter of the folk revival in the late 1950s. Von Schmidt was a well-known face in the east coast folk scene and was reasonably well-known across the United States. His chronicles of the Cambridge Folk era, also called "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down," describes the evolution of the song. Eric had first heard a song by Blind Boy Fuller called "Baby, Let Me Lay It On You." Eric von Schmidt credits Reverend Gary Davis for writing "three quarters" of this song (the melody is very similar to Davis' "Please Baby").

The first known recording, titled "Mama, Let Me Lay It On You," was made by Walter Coleman in 1936; however, Tony Russell claims that Memphis Minnie recorded and released a duet version (with her husband Joe McCoy) as early as 1930, with the arrangement reused by McCoy and his band The Harlem Hamfats in a Jazz song titled "Let Your Linen Hang Low".

The title was changed to "Baby, Let Me follow You Down" around 1959, and became a feature in the coffee houses of Greenwich Village in the early 1960s. The song was sung by local musicians such as Dave Van Ronk. The song was later picked up by the young, up and coming folk singer Bob Dylan, who made the song famous on his Columbia Records debut.

The Animals's "Baby Let Me Take You Home" (1964), is said to be an adaptation of "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down".

An alternative history of the song is given on Arnold Ryens' site "The Originals". He claims that the earliest version was by the "State Street Boys" (featuring Big Bill Broonzy). It was issued in 1935 under the title "Don't You Tear My Clothes" (with Lyrics credited to Sam Hopkins). Washboard Sam apparently recorded it under the same title in 1936.
