"Pledging My Time" is a blues song written and recorded by Bob Dylan for his 1966 album Blonde on Blonde. It was recorded in early 1966 in Nashville, Tennessee with session musicians. It is notable for its substantial harmonica part, which, unlike most harmonica parts in Bob Dylan's songs, is blues-based.
The lyrics exemplify the semispontaneous approach Dylan occasionally takes to songwriting, which is further developed in 1967 with The Band on The Basement Tapes.
The stanza "Someone set for the ambulance/ And one was sent/ Somebody got lucky/ But it was an accident" provides an odd foreshadowing of the singer's imminent motorcycle crash.
