This is a great song that I remember from my childhood. It is actually a cover of a great antiwar song by Pete Seeger. Came out in 1962. It became a popular antiwar song in the Vietnam era, but the song was written and this version was released before the war really got going. Seeger took a long time to write this song. Started writing it in 1955 and finished in 1960. It was based on an old Cossack folk song.
