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.
You are very kind. Jack Burke developed the harmonies and placed the voices. Bob thought he did not know the words, but the result was pretty good. We loved to sing, and I still do a couple of times a week. Viva la Tour de France
