The Prisoner's Song
"The Prisoner's Song" is a song copyrighted by Vernon Dalhart in 1924 in the name of Dalhart's cousin Guy Massey, who had sung it while staying at Dalhart's home and had in turn heard it from his brother Robert Massey, who may have heard it while serving time in prison.
"The Prisoner's Song" was one of the best-selling songs of the 1920s, particularly in the recording by Vernon Dalhart.
The Vernon Dalhart version was recorded on Victor Records in October 1924 and marketed in the hillbilly music genre.
It was likely one of the best-selling records of the early 20th century.
Although contemporary data show that Victor pressed slightly over 1.3 million copies during the record's peak years of popularity, anecdotal accounts sourced from a 1940s promotional flyer report sales as high as 7 million.
The song's publisher at the time, Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., reportedly sold over one million copies of the song's sheet music.
It was later performed by, among others, Hank Snow, Bill Monroe, and Brenda Lee.
The first verse was sung by Liberace at the end of an episode of the 1960s television show "Batman" in which Liberace played the double role of twin criminal brothers, both of whom ended the episode behind bars.
The song was mentioned in the book M*A*S*H
* (1968) by Richard Hooker.
It was parodied by the two main characters simulating being in jail outside the commander's tent.
They sang: "If we had the wings of a Colonel, We'd fly to the high Pyrenees, And open an open air laundry, Specializing in Blake's B.V.D.'s.
" It may also have been expanded in the stage adaptation of the book.
The song was included in Lyle Kessler's play "Orphans" and the film adaptation of the same name which the character of Harold drunkenly mumbles.
The verse sung was altered to "if I had the wings of an angel, over these prison walls I would fly, Straight to the arms of my mutter, and then I'd be willing to die".
The song was an influence on Albert E. Brumley's popular hymn, "I'll Fly Away" (1929).
