Belle Starr was born Myra Maybelle Shirley on her father's farm near Carthage, Missouri, on February 5, 1848.Most of her family members called her May. Her father, John Shirley, prospered raising wheat, corn, hogs and horses, though he was considered to be the "black sheep" of a well-to-do Virginia family which had moved west to Indiana, where he married and divorced twice.

Twelve takes of "Tombstone Blues" were recorded on July 29, 1965. The last of these takes was released on Highway 61 Revisited the following month.

An acoustic version of the song, recorded the day before the album track, was released in 2005 as part of the Three Song Sampler EP, which contains outtakes from the soundtrack of the Martin Scorsese Dylan biographical film No Direction Home, and was eventually released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 12: The Cutting Edge 1965–1966.
Starr's parents were Mary Scott Starr and George Starr. Distantly related to Sam Starr, husband of Belle Starr, he was the last in a long line of Starr family criminals. During Starr's childhood in Indian Territory, he spent his time around gangs in their hideouts. In 1886, Starr's father passed away.
