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]

Guthrie is known to have left behind hundreds of sets of song lyrics behind when he died, without any accompanying musical scores. Billy Bragg and Wilco set two albums worth to music, and this was the second song that DKM had done the same for. Although Guthrie may have performed some of these songs at some point, he did not record any of them -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:51, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
