My Mom Would Sing This Song Everytime She Was Involved In Something In the House, Whether It Be Washing Windows or Parinting Walls ... ♥ ♥ If I Had My Life to Live Over, Over These Prison Walls I Would Fly, I Would Fly to the Arms of My Loved One And There I Would Be Willing to Die :( ♥ mhtupot

A classic !

This was the biggest hit in the entire first 50 years of recorded music. 12 weeks at #1 and 32 weeks on the charts (which then consisted of only the top 10 or 15).

I was digging through my old 78s yesterday, and found the original Edison recording from 1924. He move on to Victor label, later RCA and recorded another version there.
The 78 weighs like 2 lbs!

this song was made by a prisoner that was given his freedom by the governor at the time because of a lot of out crys from folks that sang this wonderful song the feeling at the time was how could a person that write this song be so bad and he was set free by the governor its a nice story you should read up on him his song was song by the governor too thats how good it was and still is

This is one of my favorite songs. I know it is down trodden, but anybody could relate to his plight if they were placed in the same position.
