"Ballad of a Thin Man", one of Dylan's best and a great favorite of mine. I drove some bandmates crazy may, many years back trying to persuade them to laearn the song; never succeed, though. I also tried to get them to learn "Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat", but that went nowhere, also...
On the official Dylan site, a section is devoted to the lyrics of all his songs:

The listing on the first page gives you the name of the song, its first release, first time played and last time played. The lyrics of his songs, particularly his early songs, are some of the best poetry of the sixties...

As for the guitar itself, I hope they at least threw in a few picks, a guitar strap, and, maybe, a Fender Champ amp (no, a Pignose won't do)...
