GUEST,John Orford another man done gone to the county farm (7) another man done gone to the county farm 25 Jun 13

Thank you everyone. "I didn't know his name" is a verse I knew once but have forgotten. The last verses that Vera Hall sings I never heard and the singer was a man. However it seems to be Vera Hall's version all right. I see it as "to the County Farm", the song being one of despair for a life sentence in chains. Both interpretations make sense to me, since music is sung to fit the singer's mood and experience. Thank you for Odetta, but she's over the top for me. It's good we don't all like the same thing.
