Pete Seeger Bells of Rhymney songbook and his musical autobiography Where Have All the Flowers Gone
Seeger original studio rec of this song was in 1966 on his "Sleep Time: Songs & Stories" LP on Folkways Records. Smithsonian Folkways re-released this track on the CD "Abibyoyo & Other Story Songs for Children in 1992. He released a different version on his 1966 "Dangerous Songs?" LP for Sony Records, as part of his foray for more mainstream commercial recording companies. He was rec singing this song live at Newport Folk Festival in 1959.
This was the title track of Odetta's 1963 studio album on Vanguard Records making it apparently the first studio recording of Pete's lullaby.
