Covers:
Bill Bonyun [for Folkways]
Odetta [in '63 as Blowin' In The Wind (see there)]
Bob Dylan [admitted influence on Blowin' In The Wind; but please don't call Blowin' In The Wind a 'cover' of No More Auction Block; Bob actually sang No More Auction Block in the Gaslight Café that same year]
Melody also leans against We Shall Overcome.
