There are several versions maybe you are this of the 1925 one by Kelly Harrell as I Was Born in Pennsylvania.

Bad Companions (Collected by MacEdward Leach)

Come all you young companions and listen unto me,
I'll tell you all a story of some bad company;
I was born in Pennsylvania among the beautiful hills,
And the memory of my childhood is warm within me still.

I did not like my fireside, I did not like my home,
I had in view far rambling and far away did roam;
I bade adieu to loved ones, to my home I said farewell
And I landed in Chicago in the very depths of hell.

It was there I took to drinking, I sinned both night and day,
And still within my bosom this feeble voice would say:
"Oh, fare you well, my loved one, may God protect my boy,
May God forever bless him throughout his manhood joy."

I courted a fair young maiden, her name I dare not tell,
For if I should ever disgrace her while now I'm doomed to hell;
It was on a beautiful evening, the stars were shining bright,
And with a fatal dagger I bade her spirit flight.

So justice overtook me, as you may plainly see,
My soul is doomed forever throughout eternity;
Oh, now I'm on the scaffold my moments are not long,
You may forget the singer, but don't forget the song.
