The Kingston Trio is an American folk group that helped launch the folk revival of the 1960s and continued to thrive despite the emergence of rock and roll.
The Kingston Trio was formed in 1957 in the Palo Alto, California area by original lineup of Dave Guard (1934–1991), Bob Shane (1934–2020), and Nick Reynolds (1933–2008), who were just out of college. Greatly influenced by The Weavers, the calypso sounds of Harry Belafonte, and other semi-popular folk artists such as the Gateway Singers and the Tarriers

# I don't remember the Kingston Trio version very well, # but I have the following in my song database (which I will # submit to the guitar archive soon). # {title:All-e-Oxen Free} [G]Time to let the rain fall with[C]out the h[D]elp of m[G]an, [G]Time to let the trees grow tall, n[C]ow if they [D]only c[G]an, [C]Time to l[D]et our ch[G]ildren l[C]ive in a l[D]and that's f[G]ree,
Time to blow the smoke away and look at the sky again, Time to let our friends know that we'd like to begin again, Time to send a message across the land and sea:
Time to see the fairness of out children's games, Time for man to stop and learn to do the same, Time to make our minds up that the world at last will be
All-ee All-ee All-ee All-ee Oxen, All-ee All-ee All-ee All-ee Oxen Free. # #Steve Putz #Xerox Palo Alto Research Center #Palo Alto, California
