Lyrics

This is a recording from long ago, the only instrument is an incarcerated man's longing. These are the fathers of our fathers and the brothers of our grandfathers; these are the criminal elements of the great depression locked in song and imprisoned in flesh... These are the inmates of Darington Penitentiary, Texas, 1933.
