Bye and Bye
"Bye and Bye" is a song written by Bob Dylan, released in 2001 as the fourth track on his album Love and Theft.
Musically, "Bye and Bye" is what Oliver Trager calls an "easygoing, lilting ballad...something one would expect from Leon Redbone or, from an earlier era, Bing Crosby. Some Dylanologists have traced the musical source for 'Bye and Bye' to 'Having Myself a Time,' a song popularized by Billie Holiday and written by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger".
Lyrically, however, "Bye and Bye" appears to have darker concerns. According to Trager again:
Dylan first performed the song live in October 2002.
