Bob Dylan frequently visitedfolk icon Woody Guthrieat the Greystone Psychiatric Hospital, where Wyatt volunteered.
However, this one is amusing for two big reasons.
Firstly, the rumor has been wholly debunked.
Secondly, the true story surrounding the accusation is an example of truth is stranger than fiction.
Wyatt found the song in a folk magazine after joining an octet-singing group called the Millburnaires.
It sparked his creativity, inspiring him to write his own version of the lyrics.
During a meeting of the Millburnaires, they opened the floor for new songs to sing.
He agreed if they didnt mention who wrote it.
However, the promise was broken, leading to his assertion that theyd never sing the song again.
to make it explain his refusal to sing the song, Wyatt created another lie.

Its an old thing its part of the tradition.
It goes way back.
These are the same people that tried to pin the name Judas on me.
Judas, the most hated name in human history!"
