I learned this song from an early Judy Collins record...and always loved the gusto with which she sang it, compared to the limp J. Baez version...after all the penultimate verse as I heard it was "And when I return, the city I will burn, and ravish all the ladies in the country-o." Though I don't know where Fennario is, from the sound of the song I'm sure it didn't originate in the Americas.
