Definitely recorded by the Chad Mitchell Trio,
highly unlikely to have been written by any of them.
My first thought was Tom Paxton but I may be thinking
of Willie Seton, another CMT recording.

Oh, and there's an "e" at the end of "jailhouse".

Looked it up. Tom Paxton it was, and he also wrote Willie Seton,
which appears on the same CMT album.

[Intro]
(Dubarry was a man who was in and out of jail
From Texas to Tennessee and from Oklahoma to Alabama
When you'd ask a warden "How's Dubarry?", all he'd say was
"Dubarry? Dubarry done gone again")

DUBARRY DONE GONE AGAIN
(Chad Mitchell & Tom Paxton)

[Chorus]
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Chorus]
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Verse 1]
Can't keep Dubarry chained
(He's gone again, he's gone again)
He broke his chains again
(He's bound for Canaan land)

[Chorus]
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Chorus]
(Well, it's) Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Verse 2]
Dubarry he don't leave no tracks
(He's gone again, he's gone again)
Bloodhounds come droopin' back
(He's bound for Canaan land)

[Chorus]
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Verse 3]
They took Dubarry to the jailhouse door
(He's gone again, he's gone again)
In at 3 and he's out at 4
(He's bound for Canaan land)

[Chorus]
(Well, it's) Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Chorus]
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Verse 4]
Dubarry he's a travellin' man
He's gone again, he's gone again
He carries his ticket in his right hand
He's bound for Canaan land

The way the Trio did it (and, so far as I know, no one else has ever recorded it), it doesn't stop with Verse 4; there's another chorus, a bridge, and one more chorus:

[Chorus]
(Well, it's) Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Bridge]
Dubarry
Dubarry
Dubarry
He's bound for Canaan land

[Chorus]
(And, it's) Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land
