in olden times years ago, when you put a man in prison behind the bars in a jailhouse
if you had fifteen or twenty-five or thirty dollars
you could save him from the gallows pole ’cause they gonna hang him if you don’t bring up a little money
everybody would come to the jailhouse and boy would ran upside the jail; he was married, too
as for who brang him something, lot of comfort, here comes his mother
