Lighter Origins:I Was Born 10,000 Years Ago/Historical Bum (13) RE: Origins:I Was Born 10,000 Years Ago/Historical Bum 27 Jan 25

The earliest discoverable references to "I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago" seem to be from 1921 when, there were several mentions in U.S. newspapers.

I doubt the song (also referred to as a "poem") was very much older.

I haven't found any early copyrights.
