I understand this tune was very popular in the US and Europe- in the 50's Calypso's were in the mainstream here- the song was banned in a few countries outside of the WI.

The first time I heard this song was the version by the Wailers with Peter Tosh on lead vocals.

Original tune (before the lyrics were modified) was done in 1943 by Sir Lancelot.

Same here. Peter Tosh and the Wailers, early 1965.
