It's a work song for prisoners who'd sing it to help pass the time and help create a rhythm for the monotonous work they were made to do. This version is closer to a studio than a field recording, whereas the other version I'm pretty sure is an actual prison work gang singing it, but I'd imagine the song got around and was sung a lot of different ways by a lot of people.

Thank you. This song blows my head off
I didn't know there were two versions of this tune.
It's a work song for prisoners who'd sing it to help pass the time and help create a rhythm for the monotonous work they were made to do. This version is closer to a studio than a field recording, whereas the other version I'm pretty sure is an actual prison work gang singing it, but I'd imagine the song got around and was sung a lot of different ways by a lot of people.
