Re: Classic Country - 50's, 60's
Not that I "collect", but I'd love to find (buried somewhere around here!) my 1950-ish two-45rpm "album" of four songs, as best I recall sung by Gene Autry / Burl Ives: The Wreck of Old 97, Froggy Went a-Courtin', The Phantom White Stallion of Skull Valley, and Ghost Riders in the Sky.
Google says that The Prisoners Song does have lyrics (Vernon Dalhart, 1925), and was recorded by several: Hank Snow, Eddie Arnold, Bill Monroe, Johnny Cash at least. The Prisoners Song by the Dropkick Murphys seems to be, uhm, decidedly different!
As to the Cafe's "Social Groups", maybe start your own? Folks around here tend to be fairly, ya know, social!

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
