Joe Hickerson sings this version of "Stewball." I think he said it came from Texas Gladden. Chorus is: And I see, and I see, and I see on the fourth day of July.

Anyone have lyrics?

Found on Richie's Bluegrass Messengers site:

A8-OLD KIMBALL

1. Old Kimball Was a gray nag,
Old Nellie Was a brown;
Old Kimball Beat Old Nellie
On the very First go-round.

CHORUS: And I see,
And I see,
And I see on the fourth day
Of July.

2. His bridle Made of silver,
His saddle Made of gold;
And the value Of his harness
It has never Yet been told.

CHORUS

3. I'II get up In my buggy
With my lines In my hand.
"Good morning, Young lady."
"Good morning, Young man."

4. I often have wondered
What makes women Love men,
Then looked back And wondered
What makes men Love them.

CHORUS

5. They'll cause you Hard labor
They'll cause you Downfall
They'll cause you Hard labor
All behind the Old jail wall.

I have just listened to the Texas Gladden recording on Spotify. And Texas Gladden, I was surprised to find, is a woman. The album is called "Portraits: Texas Gladden, 'Ballad Legacy'- the Alan Lomax Collection" (Rounder Records, 2001).

She sings this song a cappella. On the first chorus, she sings "And I see" 3 times; on each subsequent chorus, she sings it twice.

The words are exactly as posted by Reinhard.
