Someone in the church changed Dylan's words. This song is legendary. His is the original. Dylan won the Nobel Prize for literature. His poetry and music is next level.
To explore Bob Dylan and his music can be, almost, a lifetime project, as he arrived in New York City in January of 1961, signing his first record contract in October of that same year and producing an untold number of records in a wide-range of styles. He's still performing and recording to this day.
It, apparently, was not uncommon for people writing folk songs during the late 1950's to the mid 1960's to "borrow" melodies from other songs for the lyrics that the writers were writing: Dylan, I believe, is known for doing so. One has to simply overlook this "plagiarism" and give him credit for what most consider a great protest and civil rights lyrical composition. The song is quite well known in the history of popular music, ranking number 68 in a list of the 500 greatest songs of all time some years ago by "Rolling Stone" magazine. Coincidently enough, Dylan's rock and roll song "Like a Rolling Stone" ranked number one on that list.
It's in the nature of art to turn one thing into something else.. Shakespeare didn't create the stories in his plays, they'd been told in numerous ways by numerous playwrights. But we remember his particular renderings.

Classic Dwight. How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man ?

Dylan got the musical structure for Blowin' in the Wind from a song called No More Auction Block.
