Written in October 1962, the song was never included on any of Dylan's official studio albums.[1] ReleasesA rough demo of the song performed for publishing company M. Witmark & Sons in August 1963 was eventually given an official release in 2010 on 1962–1964.[2] However, a studio version of the song had already been released under the pseudonym "Blind Boy Grunt" in 1963 on a compilation album entitled Broadside Ballads, Vol. 1 (one of five Dylan compositions on the release). This performance was later included in The Best Of Broadside 1962–1988 box set released in 2000. A pseudonym was employed due to contractual issues regarding Dylan performing on non-Columbia Records releases.{{Citation needed|reason=reliable source needed to establish this claim|date=November 2010}} Three live versions are officially available: one of Dylan's earliest recorded performances of the song on Live at the Gaslight 1962 (released in 2005), a 1963 performance on Live 1962-1966: Rare Performances From The Copyright Collections (released in 2018), and a 1994 performance on MTV Unplugged (released in 1995). Song lyrics"John Brown" consists of twelve verses written in a straightforward manner.[3] The song, composed in Dylan's protest song period, tells a story about a mother who sends her son John Brown to war on some foreign land, and he returns blinded and injured. Thematically, the song is very similar to the old Irish folk-song "Mrs. McGrath". See also
