cnd Origins: Billy's Mule - New Christy Minstrels? (10) RE: Origins: Billy's Mule - New Christy Minstrels? 19 Feb 21


Though copyrighted by Randy Sparks, the liner notes seem to indicate that the song has older origins:
partly legend, but mostly tall-tale or bald-faced lie. The story has been up-dated with references to Francis of the movies, Elvis and the income tax.
I haven't searched extensively, but I haven't found an older version of this song than the NCM recording
