Various Artists – 4th Time Around – 20 Great Versions

A song written by Bob Dylan, "4th Time Around" first appeared on his “Blonde On Blonde” double LP in 1966.

From Wiki:

It was commonly speculated to be a response to the Beatles' song "Norwegian Wood", written by John Lennon for the 1965 Beatles album “Rubber Soul”, as the two tracks share a reasonably similar melody, lyrical premise, and 3/4 time signature. "4th Time Around" has been seen as either a playful homage, or a satirical warning to Lennon about co-opting Dylan's well-known songwriting devices. Lennon expressed a range of opinions on this topic in interviews between 1970 and 1980. He initially felt it to be a somewhat pointed parody of "Norwegian Wood", but later he considered Dylan's effort to be more a playful homage. Still, the last line of "4th Time Around" ("I never asked for your crutch / Now don't ask for mine.") played into Lennon's apparent paranoia about Dylan in 1966–67, when he interpreted this line as a warning not to use Dylan's songs as a "crutch" for his own songwriting.

A song written by Bob Dylan in January 1963 for his third album (The Times They Are A-Changin’), it didn’t make the final release and was only available on bootlegs until it was finally officially released in October 2010 on “The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 – The Witmark Demos: 1962–1964”, simply titled « Farewell ».

The first released version was by Anita (and Helen) Carter in February 1964 (track #2).
