According to George Jones book " I lived to tell it all" both Jones and Stonewall wrote it and they agreed that the one that had the hit with it is the one that would have their name on it as the writer. Stonewal had the hit with it but Ive seen Georges name on it on certain albums too.
A lot of prisoners listened to this song, by prisoners doing time and related to it..It'sa lonely life in a cell eight by ten---Stonewall put a lot of memories in many a heart---Great job.
A great song from a great era from a great singer. "I've been here for eighteen years, I've still got life to go, I still got life to go...." Hey, did anybody know that The Possum wrote this song in the 1950's? Great job, George!
love this song

I love both George Jones and Stonewall Jackson's versions of this song.
