At one time or another, nearly every folk singer or group active during the "great folk scare" seems to have done a version of this. I stand guilty as well. It's a great up-tempo rouser and a good change of pace after doing something like "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye" or some similar dirge. I don't think many of us researched it well back then; we just glommed onto a version that sounded good to us and made it work. Looking at the origins and various permutations of it, in hindsight, is a great read. Thanks to all.
