"Gotta Travel On" is an American #folksong. The earliest known version was printed in #CarlSandburg's #TheAmericanSongbag in 1927 under the title "Yonder Comes the High Sheriff" and several variations were recorded in the 1920s, but the best known version is credited to #PaulClayton, #TheWeavers, Larry Ehrlich, and Dave Lazer and was first recorded by #PeteSeeger in 1958. A 1958 recording by #BillyGrammer backed by the #AnitaKerr Singers reached #4 on the #USPopChart.

Today in Labor History October 20, 1947: HUAC launched its anti-Communist witch hunt of Hollywood stars, resulting in a blacklist that barred many from working in the industry for years. The list included Humphrey Bogart, Katherine Hepburn, James Cagney, Charlie Chaplin, Lena Horne, Pete Seeger and Orson Welles. Fascist Gerald LK Smith assailed them as “alien minded Russian Jews.” Ronald Reagan and Walt Disney were also key accusers. The blacklist lasted until 1960, when Dalton Trumbo, a Communist Party member from 1943 to 1948, was officially credited as the screenwriter of the films Exodus and Spartacus (both 1960).

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. Pete Seeger 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.

Where Have All the Flowers Gone? — an anti-war song with roots in the Don valley

Pete Seeger used an old Cossack lullaby to craft a powerful lament for dead soldiers and those they leave behind
