"Walls of Red Wing" is a folk and protest song, written by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. Originally recorded for Dylan's second album, ''The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan'',〔Bauldie, John, ''Linear Notes to The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3''〕 it was not included, and eventually attempted for his next work, ''The Times They Are a-Changin''', but, again, this version was never released. The version recorded for ''Freewheelin' '' eventually appeared on ''The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991''. The song describes a boys' reform school located in Red Wing, Minnesota. == Composition == Dylan based "Walls of Red Wing" off of the traditional Scottish folk ballad "The Road and the Miles to Dundee", which he may have learned during his trip to London in early 1963, from other aspiring folk singers, such as Martin Carthy.〔 In his narration, Dylan goes to describe a juvenile detention center in Red Wing, Minnesota. The description is hyperbolical, and goes to describe the students there as "thrown in like bandits and cast off like criminals",〔(Lyrics to "Walls of Red Wing" ) ''bobdylan.com''. Retrieved August 23, 2010〕 the walls of "barbed wire" and the fence with "electricity's sting",〔 the guards holding their clubs like they were "kings",〔 and the supposed "dungeon" of the building.〔 Despite these harrowing descriptions, Red Wing was not the impenetrable "Gothic fortress" (as John Bauldie calls it〔) portrayed in this song.〔
