Song

"Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chance" is a song recorded by blues musician Henry "Ragtime Texas" Thomas in 1927, under the title "Honey, Won't You Allow Me One More Chance".[1][2] It was covered by Bob Dylan on his 1963 album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.

In 1962, Origin Jazz Library released the album Henry Thomas Sings the Texas Blues.[3] It included his "Honey, Won't You Allow Me One More Chance", which was presumably the source of Dylan's version.[4]: 43 

Todd Harvey, in his book The Formative Dylan: Transmission and Stylistic Influences, 1961–1963, analyzes how Dylan dropped Thomas's verses, and adapted his choruses, utilizing Thomas's AAAC rhyming structure and four 4-bar phrases in 2/4 time. Harvey writes: "The text of Thomas's chorus remained constant throughout the song. Dylan wrote, for the most part, new text resulting in a four bar phrase verse with the fourth phrase acting as a refrain. He increased Thomas's tempo and added his own guitar accompaniment, placing harmonica solos between verses."[4]: 43–44
