Well, I found this much of it...don't know if it's all of it or not....

IN THE GRAVEL YARD
Malcolm Pulley

In the gravel yard, with a number for my name,
Making little rocks out of big rocks all day.
Oh, the work is mighty hard in the gravel yard.
I'll never be a free man, so they say.

Warden, hear my plea. Listen now to me.
I killed a man that I caught with my wife.
You'd probably have done the same, so why am I to blame,
Sentenced to the rest of my life?

In the driving rain with a ball and chain,
My hammer rings a cold, mournful sound.
It sings a little song for the one who done me wrong.
He lies beneath the cold, cold ground.

There was also a site http//bluegrassbanjo.org/e-k.html that said it had banjo tab, but I couldn't get to unzip, maybe you can. Luck!
