This brings back such wonderful childhood memories; I recall listening to this on the car's radio. My parents would at least allow us to pick the radio station and we all loved Peter, Paul, and Mary. The song is rather depressing considering the lyrics, but when you are a child you tend to concentrate on the melody; beat; rhythm; etc. I never realized then the darkness of the song. I just always loved the trio.
