Album: Negro Prison Blues And Songs
Recorded live at the Mississippi and Louisiana State Penitentiaries by Alan Lomax ( 1947/1948 )

Lomax wrote: “ This song rises out of the dawn or dusk of a long work day, before rhythmic labor has begun,when tools are being readied or after the day’s work is over…..
The expression “ murder’s home “ has triple strenght,meaning the home of murder – the home of murderes and the murderer’s home .” (Genius )
   I ain't got long, oh mama
