"Brownsville Girl" is a song from Bob Dylan's 1986 album, Knocked Out Loaded, recorded in May of that year. It is notable for its length, over 11 minutes, and for being co-written by playwright Sam Shepard. The song is a reworked version of a December 1984 outtake from the Empire Burlesque sessions entitled "New Danville Girl". It was anthologized on the compilation albums Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Volume 3 in 1994 and Dylan in 2007.[3]
