Description from OK Jacki: Peter, Paul & Mary...loved this tune - I think I sang it more as a lullaby to my son than anything else. Is that a bad mother?? LOL
"Oh Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine; He never drank water, he always drank wine.
His bridle was silver, his mane it was gold; And the worth of his saddle has never been told.
Oh the fairgrounds were crowded, and Stewball was there; But the betting was heavy on the bay and the mare.
And a-way up yonder, ahead of them all,
Came a-prancin' and a-dancin' my noble Stewball.
I bet on the grey mare, I bet on the bay; If I'd have bet on ol' Stewball, I'd be a free man today.
Oh the hoot owl, she hollers, and the turtle dove moans; I'm a poor boy in trouble, I'm a long way from home."

beadswithbooks says:There are some really nice beads here. Had to look closely because there is so much subtlety…Especially love the rustic stew and autumn jasper. But Stewball? I sure wish I remembered that song:) Love the words and your pick is a perfect match.

Eeka Mouse says:It’s a lovely, poignant song why on earth would singing it to your child make you a bad mother?! We sang it at Girl Scout camp.

puppychick labratbecky says:Jacki, I sang what I remembered to my kids. Then I wrote to my prof. and asked him for the words so I could sing the whole thing.
Sadly I have lost the letter he sent me and he has passed on. He was a lot of fun. If you were a bad mom, then so was I!! Too funny that we both did this!!

Deb Harding says:This is a great pick…awesome colors. I just don’t remember that song. I thought I knew most of their songs too..

OK Jacki says:Thanks, Chickies, so glad you liked it. When I saw the Rustic Stew crystal during the sale, the memories flooded back. @Eeka Mouse, my reference to ‘bad mother’ was a laugh cause the lyrics talk about a horse that drinks wine, and the singer betting on the horses at the track. But, I will still stand by my assertion – it’s the best lullaby ever. Becky, what can I say? Kindred spirits.

puppychick labratbecky says:Jacki, sometimes instead of “wine” we would substitute “turpentine”
