The song was inspired by a picture Steve Tilson saw of Fred W Loring and his mule, taken 48 hours before he was killed by Apache Mohaves in 1871. Knowing nothing about Loring, Tilston back-constructed a fictional story from there using the life of Billy the Kid as part (but not all) of it.

Sorry but this song has nothing at all to do with Billy the Kid. Billy the Kid did not travel by ship from England with a "ten shilling note" - old English paper money worth one half of a pound note (20 shillings) sewn into his coat lining.
There is life beyond Billy the Kid songs, thankfully.

Oh, trust me, I'm well aware the song is pretty much entirely fictional, but I like it anyway! It was written by an English folksinger/songwriter named Steve Tilston, so I disclaim any responsibility.
