A manuscript written by Bob Dylan which features handwritten song lyrics is set to be auctioned.

The document, which features lyrics for Most Likely You Go Your Way, is expected to fetch between £12,000 and £15,000, according to auction house Sotheby’s.

It was written in Nashville in 1966 while Dylan was working on his Blonde On Blonde album.

In addition to the musician’s handwritten lines, it also includes lyrics written on a typewriter.

The document contains the lyrics: “You say disturb me and you don’t deserve, well honey sometimes you lie, you say you’re sorry, well I’ll go at last… Let you pass.”

These lyrics formed the basis of Most Likely You Go Your Way.
