Interesting, the derivation of dylans mssters of war is Nottamun town. Heard it by chance on the radio on the XM folk station. Actually the words of the song are more like dylan than the angry lyrics of masters of war.

"The song was likely a product of the early mummers' plays, in which local actors would blacken their faces and turn their clothing inside out to escape recognition. Bob Dylan was not only influenced by the song's jumble of mixed-up, fantastical lyrics... but also melodically, as he borrowed the tune for "Masters of War". "
