I've got 2 songs about Billy Sol Estes------one by Phil Ochs and another by D. Brooks as prinmted in Broadside Magazine. I will post them in about an hour at the recently refreshed KENNEDY ASSASSINATION thread thar Rich R. started a ton o' time ago.

Look there for the songs about Billy Sol--but wait a while. It will get done.

I don't know the Chad Mitchell Trio version, but here's Allan Sherman's:

Oh what have you done, Billy Sol, Billy Sol
Oh what have you done, darling Billy
You took almost every cent
From the U.S. Government
Which you spent on fertilizer, which was silly
Billy
