The Limeliters (Glenn Yarbrough, Lou Gottlieb and Alex Hassilev) were first to record "Morningtown Ride" for the 1962 album "Through Children's Eyes, Little-Folk Songs For Adults".
The Seekers (Judith Durham, Keith Polger, Bruce Woodley, and Athol Guy) excellent cover of "Morningtown Ride" failed to chart well in America reaching the mid-forties on Billboard and number thirteen on the Adult Contemporary chart but it did hit the U.K. top five and top ten in the group's native Australia in 1966.
