"Sugar Baby" is the final song on Bob Dylan's 2001 album Love and Theft.[1]
The song shares its title with the Dock Boggs song, a recording Dylan is said to have treasured as a young folksinger in New York City.[2][3]
Part of the chord progression and the lines, "Look up, look up, seek your maker, 'fore Gabriel blows his horn" are taken from the song "Lonesome Road", co-written and performed by Gene Austin, and later covered by Frank Sinatra in a swing arrangement.[4][5]
