IT'S ALL OVER NOW, BABY BLUE

"'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue'" is a song by Bob Dylan. It is Track 11 from the album ''Bringing It All Back Home'', released on 22 March, 1965 by Columbia Records.
Among the numerous artists who have covered it were Them (with vocals by Van Morrison) and also by Van Morrison as a solo artist, Bryan Ferry, Echo & the Bunnymen, Barry McGuire, Joan Baez, Falco, Grateful Dead, Graham Bonnet, The Seldom Scene, Ted Tanner, Energy Orchard, The 13th Floor Elevators and, more recently, Hole and the duo of Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs.
The Byrds recorded two versions, four years apart, the first of which was released as an unsuccessful promo single in late 1965. The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band covered it for the release of their first album, ''Volume One''. George Harrison referenced the title in his 1987 single When We Was Fab. The Milltown Brothers also covered the song in 1993.
The cover of the song by Them is sampled in Beck's ''Odelay'' in the song "Jack-Ass".

The song was a source of inspiration for Joyce Carol Oates' short story, "Where are you going, where have you been," prompting her to dedicate the story to Dylan.
A portion of the first verse of the song was used as the title for the 1995 novel "Yonder Stands Your Orphan" by Barry Hannah.
