OH, HAD I A GOLDEN THREADOh, had I a golden ThreadAnd needle so fineI've weave a magic strandOf rainbow designOf rainbow design.In it I'd weave the braveryOf women giving birth,In it I would weave the innocence Of children over all the earth,Children of all earth.Far over the watersI'd reach my magic bandThrough foreign cities,To every single land,To every land.Show my brothers and sistersMy rainbow design,Bind up this sorry worldWith hand and heart and mind,Hand and heart and mind.Far over the watersI'd reach my magic bandTo every human beingSo they would understand,So they'd understand.

It's Pete Seeger. I believe this is based off of Nearer My God to Thee, correct me if I'm wrong, pretty sure it's where it came from. Folk music has a tendency to build off of other songs, which is why sometimes something may sound familiar. Folk has a purpose, whether to tell a story or persuade. Simplicity is key. Just because it's a folk song, doesn't make it strange for it to have been written in the past 50some years.Trad. is folk but not all folk is trad.

I don't know Pete Seeger very well even though I met him once. My American girlfriend a quarter red Indian chose to play this song on the record player and i doubt she was into Pete Seeger
