Here are some of the words to a song. I would like to know the name of this and all of the lyrics, if anyone is familiar with this. Thank you.

Two convicts were seated in a prison cell.
The story of their past life to each other they did tell.
“I had a home, boy,” said the elder of the two.
“A wife I loved so dearly and a little baby too.

“We were living happy until the tempter came.
I tell you all the truth; I was not to blame.
I came from work one evening and with him she had fled.
The weary months of suffering, I'd much rather be dead.
I started drinking what else could I do?
I mixed with bad companions, became a burglar too.”

(Then there are some verses where he went to rob a house and it ended up being the house where his wife and child lived. He is taken to court and sentenced and he sees his wife there crying and the man. I don't know those). Then it is something like this:

“There across the courtroom seated all alone
...was the man who wrecked my home.
I sprang toward him with murder in my heart.
I clasped my hands around his throat 'til we were torn apart.
Nowhere on earth, boy, nowhere to call my own.
I have no place to shelter me except a prison home.”

Thanks for the help.
