Carter family when the world's on fire (1930), in the TV series "Manhattan," about the first atom bomb in Los Alamos

Same melody as Woody Guthrie "This land is your land" 14 years later (1944).

That’s nice. It’s definitely the same melody. I’m wondering if Woody Guthrie wrote it or if he himself borrowed an older folk melody.

My bad. I mis-read your comment and thought that “This Land is Your Land” predated “When the World’s on Fire”, not the other way around.
