Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Molly and Tenbrooks" in English language version.
For example, "Molly and Tenbrooks" is an American telling of a late 19th century horse race between California's Mollie McCarty and Kentucky's Ten Broeck. Versions of "Molly and Tenbrooks" were cut by bluegrass giants, the Stanley Brothers and Bill Monroe, but theirs are a different melody, though related by subject and genre to "Stewball" by kissin' cousins the Greenbriar Boys. There lay the origin of the melody Baez recorded. Her version is also somewhat of a conflation of the stories told in "Stewball" (who in some cases is a wine-drinking, winning race horse), and "Molly and Tenbrooks" (in which the mare stumbles and thus explains Stew's win).
