Musician.Shane Origins: In the Jailhouse Now (108* d) RE: Lyr Add: In the Jailhouse Now - 1915 ver? 06 Jun 12

Hi everyone, my name is Craig and I joined on to research old folk music, this should be fun. One of the first things I am researching is the lyrics to the 1915 version by Davis and Stafford.
I have found 2 clues:
1) The Wiki article referring to page 124 of the Jimmie Rodgers book
2) The article says the guy's name is "Campbell"

I am going to get the book, research it and get back to everyone. I am hoping we can try and assemble at least maybe a rough approximation of the original 1915 lyrics (if we can, if it is possible) and I want to record a YouTube video of it. Public Domain!!

Thanks, and I'll keep in touch,
Craig from DC
