One Too Many Mornings is a folk song by Bob Dylan that was first released in 1964 on the album The Times They Are A-Changin ' .
He describes the sad end of a relationship because the lovers simply have nothing more to say to each other. It was recorded on October 24, 1963 with producer Tom Wilson at Columbia Records studios .
It is controversial whether Dylan was thinking of his ex-girlfriend Suze Rotolo when writing the piece or whether the piece came about without a role model. Later it was often played by other musicians at concerts and also recorded in the studio. The first known cover version comes from Burl Ives , whose album The Times They Are A-Changin ' only became known because five of the eleven songs were by Bob Dylan and it also had the same title as an album by Dylan. When Joan Baez recorded an album only with Dylan songs with Any Day Now in 1968 , she also played One Too Many Mornings for the project . Another well-known cover version of the piece, which was never officially released, comes from Bob Dylan himself; he played the song in a jam session with Johnny Cash in Nashville in February 1969 when he was working on his Nashville Skyline album . This recording later appeared as a bootleg . Cash himself had already recorded the song once in the 1960s, but his version only appeared on the Johnny & June compilation in 1978 . He also recorded the song in 1986 in a duet with Waylon Jennings for the album Heroes . The song was also covered by The Beau Brummels , The Panics , David Gray , The Kingston Trio and BAP .
