What snippet from a blues-ish song does Bob Dylan play at a hotel, in the morning, I think, in Don't Look Back?

In a few minutes, I'll look for the exact point in the movie, and write down the words, unless someone knows the answer off-hand and saves me the trouble. There are a bunch of people standing around him -- Joan Baez, maybe 2 or 3 others, and they are all smiling as he plays. He seems to be really changing the song up, though I've never heard the song, and am basing this entirely on my own limited perception. Still, it's a detail.

Answer:
The song is called Lost Highway, and it's by Leon Payne. It seems Hank Williams popularized this song when he covered it. Payne was a blind musician who worked out of Jerry Irby's nightclub in Houston and guested on the Hayride and the Opry. His original version... had been released on the Nashville-based Bullet label in October 1948. In the early days of Leon's career, he hitchhiked from one place to another, finding jobs wherever he could. Once he was in Califonia hitchhiking to Alba, Texas, to visit his sick mother. He was unable to get a ride and finally got help from the Salvation Army. It was while he was waiting for help that he wrote this song. These bullets come from underneath the Youtube upload of the Hank Williams version, above, and is there attributed to: Telephone interview, Dec 20, 1972; reprinted in Dorothy Horstman, Sing Your Heart Out, Country Boy, New York, 1976, p. 368. Here are the words. I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost For a life of sin I have paid the cost When I pass by all the people say Just another guy on the lost highway Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine And a woman's lies makes a life like mine O the day we met, I went astray I started rolling down that lost highway I was just a lad, nearly 22 Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you And now I'm lost, too late to pray Lord I paid the cost, on the lost highway Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round On this road of sin ,or you're sorrow bound Take my advice or you'll curse the day You started rollin' down that lost highway I am trying to figure out how to record the snippet of Dylan playing this song in order to post it here.
