It is said to have been a translatio of a poem by a Spanish Republican sentenced to death an set to music by somebody. It got into the Forest Camps songbook in the 60s. The earliest confirmed source is sung by Adam Faith writeen by Trevor Peaclock ( he of Vicar of Dibley ) music arranged by John Barry.
