"Lay Lady Lay", sometimes rendered "Lay, Lady, Lay",[3] is a song written by Bob Dylan and originally released in 1969 on his Nashville Skyline album.[4] Like many of the tracks on the album, Dylan sings the song in a low croon, rather than in the high nasal singing style associated with his earlier (and eventually later) recordings.[5] The song has become a standard and has been covered by numerous bands and artists over the years.
