This isn't the first time there is a question about Dylan's lyrics and it probably won't be the last, and only a fan like me would probably notice. :-)
The lyrics you posted look to be identical to those on Dylan's website but at least one line differs from print to recording when Dylan sings "My Back Pages" and also in the Byrd's version.
In Dylan's recording, Dylan sings "My existence led by confusion boats" rather than "My pathway led by confusion boats." Perhaps he rewrote the line recently.
For any doubters or naysayers, "My Back Pages" in the recorded version performed by Bob Dylan himself and linked below, is the most clearly pronounced version I have ever heard.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
(Bob Dylan's and Byrd's recorded version:)
Mypathwayexistence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now"
Here's Dylan singing My Back Pages and here are the Byrds singing it.
Dylan routinely had multiple versions of his songs. I have a copy of what is referred to as the “New York Sessions” of the Blood on the Tracks record, which were cut earlier than what ultimately appeared on the record, and quite a few of the songs have different verses.
“My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.”
I think what Dylan sings also suggests “bodes” where printed lyric has “boats” and various folks reactions that sort of stuff plays into the differing reactions to Dylan’s singing.
McQuinn took that line and then wrote the "Ballad of Easy Rider".
It would not surprise me that there are many changes in the lyrics as sung by one artist vs. the other.
