Universal Soldier

"Universal Soldier" was a popular folk-tinged protest recording by Donovan. The Scottish musician charted with the track in 1965. It is an anti-war song. Donovan's disc was a remake.

The original version was recorded by its composer, Buffy Sainte-Marie, a Canadian singer - songwriter. She included the track on her debut album 'It's My Way!', issued in 1964.
