Mary Travers has said she was influenced by Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and the Weavers. In the documentary Peter, Paul & Mary: Carry It On — A Musical Legacy members of the Weavers discuss how Peter, Paul and Mary took over the torch of the social commentary of folk music in the 1960s.

Manager Albert Grossman created Peter, Paul and Mary in 1961, after auditioning several singers in the New York folk scene. After rehearsing them out of town in Boston and Miami, Grossman booked them into The Bitter End, a coffee house, nightclub and popular folk music venue in New York City's Greenwich Village.

They recorded their first self-titled debut album, Peter, Paul and Mary, the following year. It included "Lemon Tree", "500 Miles", and the Pete Seeger hit tunes "If I Had a Hammer" (subtitled "The Hammer Song") and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?". The album was listed in the Billboard Magazine Top Ten for 10 months, including seven weeks in the #1 position. It remained a main catalog-seller for decades to come, eventually selling over two million copies, earning Double Platinum certification from the RIAA in the United States alone.

Lyrics:

Chorus:

Just give me the warm power of the sun

Give me the steady flow of a waterfall

Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.

Just give me the restless power of the wind

Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire

But please take all of your atomic poison power away.

Everybody needs some power I'm told

To shield them from the darkness and the cold

Some may see a way to take control when it's bought and sold.

I know that lives are at stake

Yours and mine and our descendants in time.

There's so much to gain, so much to lose

Everyone of us has to choose.

(Chorus)

We are only now beginning to see

How delicate the balance of nature can be

The limits of her ways have been defined

And we've crossed that line.

Some don't even care or know that we'll pay

But we have seen the face of death in our day.

There's so little time to change our ways

If only we together can say

(Chorus)

All of your atomic poison power

All of your atomic poison power

Away.
