Fabulous version. Clear words which make the history and point of the song clear. This and the burl version are the best.

This is certainly one of the best. They make it sound really pretty. I had previously not exactly thought of this as a pretty song. Obviously related storywise to "Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye." Pretty tune, slightly creepy story. Like a lot of war songs are of course. Or anti-war really. ("For I'd rather have my Teddy as he used to be Than the King of France and his whole navy.")

The accompaniment is very nice too. Words and music together are beautiful but the point of the song comes through loud and clear too at the same time. Wow. Very, very good. ^___^

One of the best anti-war songs sung perfectly. Burl Ives also sang it well.
