The prisoner's song aka Wings of angel

The original version was recorded on 13-08-24 by Vernon Dalhart. He recorded the songat least 18 times and they were released by several record companies on 53 record labels in the USA
It seems that the song is based on a old folk tune "Meet me tonight by the moonlight" with re-written lyrics.
