Masters of War
"Masters of War" is a song by Bob Dylan, written over the winter of 1962–63 and released on the album ''The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan'' in the spring of 1963.〔Sounes, ''Down the Highway: Life Of Bob Dylan'', p. 131〕 The song's melody was adapted from the traditional "Nottamun Town".〔(Nottamun Town, bobdylanroots.com )〕 Dylan's lyrics are a protest against the Cold War arms build-up of the early 1960s.〔Hentoff, ''Freewheelin''' liner notes〕
==Basis of melody==
With many of his early songs, Dylan adapted or "borrowed" melodies from traditional songs. In the case of "Nottamun Town", however, the arrangement was by veteran folksinger Jean Ritchie. Unknown to Dylan, the song had been in Ritchie's family for generations, and she wanted a writing credit for her arrangement. In a legal settlement, Dylan's lawyers paid Ritchie $5,000 against any further claims.〔Sounes, ''Down the Highway: Life Of Bob Dylan'', p. 132〕
