The Kingston Trio (oh come on now, I know they weren't true folk artists, but I cut my teeth, not to mention my thumb and fingers, on KT's music) did a song The Ballad of the Thresher by Allen, Nelsen, and Donald on their Sunny Side album in 1963.

It is too late at night to be transcribing, but the first verse is:

Oh, the Thresher, the finest atomic ship,
That ever dived for the sea.
Each man on board was a volunteer,
He was there 'cause he chose there to be.

I post this simply for completeness. Even in my younger years I knew this song paled beside Phil Ochs song. But in my clique at that time, you were supposed to play everything (and I do mean everything) ever recorded by KT. The pity with growing old is you remember lots you would like to forget and forget lots you would like to remember.

Anyone with the rest of the lyrics?
