Thread Name: Seeger/Outlandish Knight version?
Subject: RE: Seeger/Outlandish Knight version?
I had the Pete Seeger album with this song on it. In fact it is almost certainly still up in the loft. I shall have to get it down, though I have nothing to play it on. I know someone who might put it on CD for me, so I will have to see.

As Andrew Sullivan says, the singer on the You Tube clip uses a slightly different tune. As he says he learnt it from the singing of Pete Seeger, it could be he has not quite learnt the tune as Pete Seeger sang it.

The words are as I remember them.
