There's good reason you didn't know Gord wrote "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." He didn't. That first album had a couple of covers on it and that is one of them. It was written by Ewan MacColl.
The interesting thing on the first album is that he sounds very at home in the covers so it's not surprising that it sounds like he wrote it. It's the same way on "changes," which was written by Phil Ochs.
