  • A completely different song.

  • 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.

  • classic

  • Thank you for posting this.
