warden -led a prisoner - down the hallway - to his doom

Can I hear once - before you move along

They messed up the lyrics in the first verse they say “and I heard him tell the warden there’s a song my mama sang could I hear it once before you move along

I think you are both correct. I think the original version has it in the second verse. However, in Willie, Merle, & Ray Big Hits Live from the Last Breed Tour he sings it in the first verse.
