As I was driving home Sunday I heard a new old tune on the radio called The Gray Mare. Now this was not the usual Old Gray Mare she ain’t what she used it be tune. This one told the story of a gray mare the owner took to church, the preacher baptized her, and then when she died the congregation laughed and the preacher cried. The radio host said it was an old North Carolina folk song but I cannot for the life of me find it on the internet. Anyone know this tune and the history of it? I may have to call the radio station and ask them about it. It must have been popular enough at one time since it was a recorded song.
