Wanderwd, this is not only the original tune for PPM's "Stewball", but also for John Lennon's "So this is Christmas"...a direct steal, rather than a cover. It bugs me when they play it during the holidays as if it were his original composition. I love Lennon, and he composed some legendary stuff...but not this one!

Much better than Joan Baez, Peter Paul & Mary and all the others - 'cept maybe Leadbelly. ;-)

In America, the Stewball ballad was "...most popular in the Negro south, where the winning horse is known variously as 'Stewball' or 'Kimball," and was apparently one of the chain-gang songs. The song was recorded by Leadbelly in 1940 (cd available via the Smithsonian Museum), by Joan Baez (album title Joan Baez/5), by Peter Paul and Mary, and a number of successive artists.

So this tune is the original "Stewball was a race horse"? Certainly sung differently by Peter, Paul & Mary.
