GUEST,Brage Aronsen Origins: Beloved Comrade: Spanish Civil War Song? (25) RE: Origins: Beloved Comrade: Spanish Civil War Song? 11 Oct 20


The manuscript for The Man Who Went to War is available at the Library of Congress website (The Alan Lomax Collection): https://www.loc.gov/resource/afc2004004.ms040112/?sp=15&r=0.7,0.201,0.6,0.249,0#

At page 14 you can see the lyrics referenced and that is was sung by Josh White. The Library of Congress dates the creation of the script to 1944, so it's evident that the song predates the death of FDR.

Best regards,
