Very influential song in the folk revival. One version povided the tune for "the Patriot Game" and "With God on our Side". And the "standard" version in the British folk clubs (with the "arm in arm along the road" chorus) became one of the great anthems of the scene for full on harmony chorus singing. I think that version was originally collected from Aubrey Cantwell in Standlake: just how it spread to become a club classi would be interesting to find out,there must be plenty of Mudcatters from that era. Anybody recall how it was injected into the folkscene?
