I don't know the names of the singers here, Library of Congress just has it listed as 'group of convicts'. It was recorded in 1939 at the Clemens State Farm, Brazoria, Texas.
Call number AFC 1939/001 2599a2.
Photo is of the Brazoria county courthouse in 1939.
Afro american prison song probably recorded by Alan Lomax. He as also recorded Black Betty by James Baker.....
