In 1962,Origin Jazz Libraryreleased the albumHenry Thomas Sings the Texas Blues.It included his "Honey, Won't You Allow Me One More Chance", which was presumably the source of Dylan's version.[1]: 43 

Todd Harvey, in his bookThe 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."[1]: 43–44
