This is an old prison chain gang song from the turn of the century. there are several accounts of it, even Tennesse Earnie Ford was always up front about that.

Thanks for sharing this, Lew! George Davis is an old favorite of mine. He had a great voice, and I think his version of The Little Lump of Coal is the best there is! Keep up the good work :-)

Great story, nice song!

I remember this one...I'm loving these old LPs of yours! And it's relevant; even without the company-store system, we are still experiencing the captivity of debt. Keep 'em coming--

Terrific job with the song, Lew, and thank you for expanding my musical knowledge. I can't honestly say I've ever heard of George Davis until now. Well done, my friend and 5 stars for you!
