Ah, yes; I remember that one! It was on one of the Kingston Trio Albums from around 1963 as I recall - but don't remember which one exactly. Nor do I think I recall all of the lyrics, either.
My Brothers and I used to listen to that a lot when we were kids... Lemmie see....

"Didn't mean to be fightin',
causin' you all of this shame:
But the son of Johnathan brackett
was scandalizin' your name!

(Cho. per your recollection)

(Not sure about this one...);
This Bundua Jail is fulla dirt;
The rats they cover the floor; Just ten and three will set me free
and I'll be yours forevermore!

You might find the complete and legitimate ones on a search of Kingston Trio Websites, or see if AMAZON.com is offerring the album; it should list the tracks, and you can buy it and transcribe 'em off of the original.

Good luck Mate... and stay out of that D@mn Bundua Jail, now, wont' you?!
