I think that the Bob Dylan song is “Talkin’Bear Mountain Picnic Blues.” The song tells a pretty amusing story about a real-life scam artist who sold fake tickets for a boat trip to Bear mountain. The song never appeared on an album though.

  5. 1568-9 by English sailor Davy Ingram and two fellow escapees. Captured by the Spanish from an English pirate ship commanded by John Hawkins off the Mexican coast they escaped and allegedly walked to Nova Scotia and passage home via a French fishing vessel. Ingram’s survival was regarded as miraculous by his family and friends and his greatly exagerated report of His travels was influential in the early English expeditions to colonise Virginia. His reports of native American culture and wildlife lend credibility to his story
