Subject: Lyr Req: Prison Blues -lyrics required
My husband has dementia and has forgotten a lot of lyrics to the songs he used to sing.
He used to sing a lot of prison songs from the USA and I would be grateful for any lyrics you can help with.
I have managed to type up about a hundred and fifty English folk songs from his old repetoire and about 18 American ones.
At the moment I am stuck on:

Ol' Riley done gine like a turkey through the straw, and he ran away.
Baby , please don't go.
There ai'nt no more cane on the Brazos
Go down old Hannah, if you rise up in the morning, bring judgement day.
Good morning Blues
How long blues.
