[78-L] Utah Mormon Blues (Phil Pavey, OK 45355)

[Taylor Bowie]

Somewhere I have a one-sided Victor by Bob Roberts,  as I recall,  of a song 
called The Mormon Coon.

Does anyone know what this song is about? I can't find the lyrics or a 
recording
online, and the title is intriguing enough that I had to ask.There was 
another
country song about Mormonism recorded in 1929, Carl T. Sprague's "The
Mormon Cowboy" on Victor 40246, but otherwise I've never encountered many
songs about the religion (although it's not surprising that country-western 
would
be the genre to address it it--Mormons also figure prominently in some 
Western
films and novels early in the 20th century).
