A friend's father recalls a C&W song from the mid to late-60s that
contained the following lines:
contained the following lines:
"Christopher Robin is alive and well
Drinking rum from a coconut shell
Long-haired maidens all in a row"
Can anyone here provide us with a title, artist, and possibly even the
rest of the lyrics?

What's creamier than milk, lighter than helium, and snappier than something
really snappy? Who cares? The latest issue of ePasquinade is pretty funny,
though. Download it at http://www.epasq.com and share it with some of your
snappy, creamy friends.

Sometime in the late 1970's I moved to Nashville in hopes of being a songwriter (ended up working construction) and one night several of us were playing music up in a friend's room. A guy we knew named Vince Mathews started 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." sagehi...@hotmail.com

(All quotes)
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!
