  Uncle Tom by The Mercey Brothers This song was written by Douglas Billard, nephew of Thomas Gordon West and recorded by Canadian band The Mercey Brothers. It hit #1 on the Canadian Country charts in 1967 as a single from the Album "The Mercey Brothers" released in 1968. I do not own any rights to this song.
