Several members of Wyatt's school and communityreported having heard his singing the song and claiming authorship ayear before it was released by Dylan, or made famous by Peter, Pauland Mary. Wyatt even told his teacher that he'd sold the song for$1,000 and donated the money to charity, when asked why he hadsuddenly stopped performing it.The plagiarism claim was eventually shown to be completelyuntrue.
