<P> Starting in June 1967 and ending in October 1967 , Bob Dylan 's writing and recording sessions with the Band ( then known as the Hawks ) in Woodstock , New York , were the source of many new songs that were circulated as demos by Dylan 's publisher for fellow artists to record . `` You Ai n't Goin ' Nowhere '' was written and recorded during this period and features lyrics that allude to the singer waiting for his bride to arrive and possibly , a final premarital fling . The original version found on 1975 's The Basement Tapes album was recorded with the Band ( minus Levon Helm who had temporarily left the group at this point ) in the basement of their house in West Saugerties , New York , called `` Big Pink '' . A first take recorded during the Basement Tapes sessions includes improvised nonsense lyrics such as `` Just pick up that oil cloth , cram it in the corn / I do n't care if your name is Michael / You 're gon na need some boards / Get your lunch , you foreign bib '' . This alternate take was released in 2014 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 : The Basement Tapes Complete . </P>
