Someone gave me the lyrics to this song well over 20 years ago, and I've been looking for the melody ever since. Thanks for posting this and solving my mystery. I love the Kingston Trio and had no idea they sang this! :o)
last charted hit for the Kingston Trio. With the assassination of JFK shortly after this song came out and with the arrival of the Beatles, times were a changin'. That's too bad because I love music like this. Much better than today's current stuff.
thanks. for once its not a comment like "ZOMG U READ HALO BOOKS!!! U F***ING LARGE A** NERD!!" or " wow u read the books ur gay" i get so tired of that. some people just dont get it.
@electricmick357 you must be a twit if you read halo books. but jokes aside, you're an idiot if you think reading for readings sake is valuable. reading halo books and seventeen magazine doesn't improve your mind like reading camus or steinbeck.
I've always imagained this song to be played after a nuclear holocaust. Imagining grass beginning to grow again and people coming out from their caves they were hiding in.
The Kingston Trio were among my most favorite musicians of my youth. Olly Olly Oxen Free is one of the most beautiful songs which they created. Thank you for making this beautiful song available to be heard.
my favorite song by the Kingston trio thanks for posting

Well, if anyone else over the age of 15 sang this song it would be pretty sappy. The trio sells it very well. Genuine people.
