The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan · 1963

Corrina, Corrina

A traditional blues first recorded in the late 1920s, it is the one track on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan with a backing band.

The words

A man misses the woman who has gone and says he cannot rest until she comes back to him.

The singer's lover is gone, and the song is his gentle, persistent wish that she would return. It moves through a few short verses with the same yearning refrain, never angry, only patient and sad. Dylan sings it softly over a quiet band shuffle, a warm, unhurried recording that stands out among the album's solo performances.
