What blues song is that from? It sounds like something I've heard, but even Google can't place it.

I have only heard Dylan sing it:

Thunder on the mountain heavy as can be
Mean old twister bearing down on me
All the ladies in Washington scrambling to get out of town
Looks like something bad is going to happen, better roll your airplane down

But after an exhaustive 2 minute BING search...I came across this name:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokomo_Arnold

and a song called Mean Old Twister ( check the :38 mark):

He is better known for writing Milk Cow Blues...he was a farmhand from Lady Jane's neck o' the woods...

This has been your Black History Month lesson for the day

Thanks for the feedback but I think maybe an old forgotten blues singer sung that first then Dylan copied it like he does frequently.
