Thread Name: Origin: Tell Old Bill (Van Ronk?)
Subject: RE: Origins of 'Tell Old Bill' (Van Ronk)?
Looking for versions earlier than Dave's (recorded in the mid-1950s or later), who learned his from Carl Sandburg's American Songbag.

To repeat, anyone know any versions earlier than 1950 that are NOT Sandburg's version?
