The lyrics sing4peace posted are more or less what Guy and Candie Carawan sing on "The Land Knows You"re There" (1986). They use 'Boy' instead of 'Son' in the title, and give Al Piantadosi and Alfred Bryan as authors, but the tune they use is quite different from Hamish's. His version is posted above by Murray MacLeod.
