I pulled up this song because I was reading "That Thin, Wild Mercury Sound: Nashville and the Making of Blonde on Blonde" by Daryl Sanders. In the book, Sanders speculates that Lightnin' Hopkins's "Automobile Blues" may have been the inspiration for "Leopard-Skin Pill Box Hat". Makes sense, as there are some definite similarities in the music and the lyrical phrasings.

Oh it definitely is. Dylan made no secret of continuing the folk tradition of borrowing other people's songs
you talk with lots of intricate words you must read a lot of books. One day i hope to talk like you do.
Yes that's funny just re-reading that Wild Thin Mercury Sound where this is mentioned 🤣
Nothing tops this. Nothing.

Supreme blues
this one reminds me leopard-skin pill-box hat, by bob dylan
Bob based that song off this. But, it's always been blues tradition to take something and work on it, to refine it, I guess.
Why is Lighnin' almost never mentioned as one of the greatest guitar players? This guy could play an axe!
