   >>2/14/2020 - I recently started playing this song again after many years of   
   having forgotten it and thought I'd try to find the Stoneman's version online.   
   I learned it long ago after hearing it a couple of times on the radio.

   playing this song so I sang    
   along and when he got stuck on the lyrics I helped him out. When he was done I   
   told him I was surprised to hear somebody do that song as it wasn't real well   
   known and Vince said, "Well, I wrote it." sagehillrube@hotmail.com

   My dad remembers an old country-western song from the late 60s with   
   the following lyrics:   
      
   Christopher Robin is alive and well   
   Drinking rum from a coconut shell   
   Long-haired maidens all in a row.   
      
   He says he thinks it was by the same guys who did "Get Into Reggae   
   Cowboy," but that was the Bellamy Brothers, and they never did a   
   Christopher Robin song. I can't find anything matching these lyrics on   
   the 'net, though someone else who was searching for the same song   
   found an LJ entry of mine on it a cpl years ago and emailed me asking   
   if I'd found it yet. ;) Any clues??

   Identify of Christopher Robin song   
   The song you're looking for is called "Christopher Robin" by the   
   Stoneman Family, which was very influential in bluegrass music back in   
   the 20s and 30s. It was on an album I had back in the late 60s called   
   "The Great Stonemans". Good luck finding it!
