What about the two versions of the song? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.223.36 (talk) 05:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If Guthrie wrote the song, and I would assume performed it, wouldn't it be his song and the Murphy's version a cover? 72.245.29.249 (talk) 11:02, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Dropkick Murphys article implies that it was originally a poem. 65.96.201.130 (talk) 22:33, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
