Subject: Origins: Been In The Pen So Long
From Mel Bay's Complete Folk Guitar Method by Jerry Silverman,
I'm looking for any background information on the following songs:

BEEN IN THE PEN SO LONG
IT MAKES A LONG TIME MAN FEEL BAD
IN THE PINES
ALBERTA LET YOUR HAIR HANG LOW

E6                     A7
Been in the pen so long
E6            A7       Am
Honey, I'll be long gone
E                      A7
Been in the pen, and I gotta go back again
A7             D7   G7(b5) C7
Baby where you been so    long?
F#9            B7      E "C7" B7
Baby where you been so long?

etc....
