Handwritten lyrics from an unreleased 1961 Bob Dylan song titled “Wisconsin” hit the auction block on March 30, but failed to attract any bidders. Auction house Nate D. Sanders Auctions conducted the auction, which had been set with an opening bid of $30,000. According to the auction house, Dylan penned the lyrics in November 1961, months after he moved to New York City and signed with Columbia Records. Dylan gave the lyric sheet to musician and one-time roommate Peter Crago. ‘I’m a heading out Wisconson ways / 2000 miles to go / Madison, Milwakee [sic] set’s my heart aglow / I’m a coming to that dairy state /My heart’s a beating fast / I’ll jerk my banjo gently there / And twiddle my mustache,’ a portion of the lyrics read.
