Recordings of Florian Geyer's song

Subject: Recordings of Florian Geyer's song
From: Roberto

I have one recording of this song (by Wolfgang Roth, Folkways), and I'd like to find other recordings, of this and more songs of the period (XVI century).

I'd like to know if this can be considered an historical song, or whether its text and tune are recent.

Thank you. R

Wir sind des Geyers schwarze Haufen, hei a ho ho!
Und wollen mit Tyrannen raufen, hei a ho ho!

Spieß voran, drauf und dran,
setzt aufs Klosterdach den roten Hahn!
Spieß voran, drauf und dran,
setzt aufs Klosterdach den Hahn!
