The fantastic life of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" as told by the Financial Times. Hu Nu? Dolly, Bernie, Marlene...
All inspired by a poem in a novel by Shokholov. The songwriter had testified before Congress' HUAC that August (House Un-American Committee, the Red Scare). Later, he gave 20% of its royalties to a camp counselor who wrote a couple more verses... just fantastic stuff.

Some people say I'm a no-'count
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just
a natural-born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should
And I don't give a damn (hoot)
about a greenback dollar💵
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin' song & a good 🎸
The only things that I understand
