"Lay Lady Lay" is a song written by Bob Dylan and originally released in 1969 on his Nashville Skyline album. Like many of the tracks on the album, Dylan sings the song in a low croon, rather than in the high nasal singing style with which he is normally associated. The song has gone on to become a standard and has been covered by a number of bands and artists, including The Byrds, Ramblin'' Jack Elliott, The Everly Brothers, Melanie, The Isley Brothers, Duran Duran, and Ministry amongst others
