Dirge (Bob Dylan song)

"Dirge" is a song by Bob Dylan. It was released on his 14th studio album Planet Waves in 1974.[1] After recalling his band to re-record the track "Forever Young," Dylan recorded "Dirge" on just the second take.[2] The song was labeled on the studio tape box as "Dirge for Martha." Notable for its acidic tone, "Dirge" has never been performed in concert.[3]
