Thanks to you folks, a few months ago I tracked down the vinyl online and placed the order. It came a few days later and sure enough, there it was, just like I remembered, including the breaks and all.

Oscar Brand sings the last verse like this:

*They took me to the courthouse and put me into jail.*
*I had a lot of friends boys but none to go my bail.*
Come all you young citizens, don't never take no chance,
Don't carry the precious water that makes 'em sing and dance.

I love songs with such pithy moral statements at the end. I've sung and played it hundreds of times without *those 2 lines* and never remembering who had recorded it. For some reason I find it really catchy, maybe because my uncle used to sing and play the Wabash Cannonball.

I just sent it off to some friends who live in Montreal!

Thanks again for helping me revive the memories.
