Hmm. I've heard the recording by Nina Simone, and I see it was also used in the film Ghosts of Mississippi. I recall the song very well, but I thought it was recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary as a group - but it's not listed on their website, so I must have learned it from the Mary album - there were a lot of songs I liked on that album.

Anybody know of other recordings? When was it written?
