Just to set the record straight, for those who think the "original" version of this was by Mary Hopkin (whose version I love btw), it was actually written by Gene Raskin of The Limeliters. He wrote English lyrics to an old Russian folk song. The Limeliters made it a fairly big folk hit in the early 1960's, but of course it was the Mary Hopkin version that really took off....

I've overlooked this clip for months because I was kind of weary of the sudsy more famous version. Boy, have I just gotten smacked for ignoring this! Vikki just knocks this one out of the park with an arrangement that is so original and fresh. But with Vikki singing it, I should have known it would have been a home run!
