Since we're all getting old and knowledge should be preserved, I want
to point out that the song was inspired by a homily at JFK's requiem
Mass, during which a priest recited the Bible verses associated with
the song.
According to the YT description attached to that video, the song was put to
music by Pete Seeger in 1959 and recorded by him in 1962.
Both dates precede JFK's death.
