There's a version on the '45 Capitol album //Children's Songs and Stories by Cowboy Tex Ritter//; this album was so important to Ry's producer Jim Dickinson that he modeled one of his own LPs (//Free Beer Tomorrow//) after it. Cooder said he learned this song from a record by folksinger Sam Hinton, but there is no evidence of a recording. I think Ry is misremembering here. Hinton does several songs on the 1960 RCA 'concept album' album //How The West Was Won//, which does include "Billy the Kid", but it's sung there by the great historical storyteller Jimmy Driftwood.

Liner notes give the copyright as 1972, and since Estes performed on one of the songs on the album, it could have been learned directly by Cooder from Estes.This song was recorded by Sleepy John Estes with the title Milk Cow Blues.

It was popularized in the early '70s by Eddie Kamae and the Sons of Hawai'i, and it has been much recorded.
