This racing story originates in Ireland but is well known in both the UK and the USA. The names Skewbald and #Skewball seem to be the European variant and #Stewball the American one.
A version of Leadbelly singing Stewball in 1940 can be found on his 1962 Folkways album #Leadbelly Sings Folk Songs.
