"Ain't Talkin'" is a song written by Bob Dylan, appearing as the closing track on his album Modern Times, recorded in February 2006. It is the longest track of the album (8:48). The song derives its chorus words from the more up-tempo "Highway of Regret" by Don Anthony and Ralph Stanley. The lyrics of the first verse seem to be derived from the first verse of "As I Roved Out", a traditional Irish song. An alternate version of the song, from the same recording sessions, appeared on the 2008 Dylan compilation The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 – Tell Tale Signs: Rare and Unreleased 1989–2006.
