Thread Name: Lyr Req: Sedgefield Fair
Subject: Old Mule/Sedgefield Fair
I'm looking for lyrics and hopefully recordings to two songs. One song, "Old Mule" appeared on a Seventies collection called "A Bushel Basket of 5-String Banjos". It begins, "Old mule, you're the son of a donkey, and I'm in the image of God . . ."

The other song, "Sedgefield Fair" may be an Anglo-Irish tune. I heard it on the radio. It begins, "Old Dickey Thompson he had a gray mare/and he took it away to Sedgefield Fair . . ."

I'd appreciate any help in locating these tunes.
