Farewell, Angelina (song)

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

Baez' version, though only about half as long as Dylan's recording, was very similar in structure and showed her moving away from pure folk music with the use of string bass accompaniment.

"Farewell Angelina" has remained a continuous part of Joan Baez' concert repertoire, being recorded twice for live albums during the 1980s.

Pierre Delanoë and Hugues Aufray translated it into French under the title Adieu Angelina, which itself has been recorded many times.

The Celtic jam band Wake the Dead recorded it in 2006 for their third album Blue Light Cheap Hotel.
