It's a Sin to Be Rich, It's a Low-Down Shame to Be Poor

It's  a Sin to Be Rich, It's a Low-Down Shame to Be Poor
Non è una canzone contro la violenza materiale e morale della guerra ma un anelito ad una possibile eguaglianza economica con un esplicito riferimento Evangelico alla difficolta' che avranno i ricchi ad entrare nel Regno dei Cieli. ( ndr )
Lightnin’ Hopkins – ( 1912 – 1982 )

Penitentiary Blues

- 'Penitentiary Blues' [1959] by Lightnin' Hopkins. This is his adaptation of the work song 'No More Cane on the Brazos' and predates Dylan, The Band and all the rest of them.

The Brazos River was originally named "Brazos de Dios" meaning "Arms of God."
The Texas Almanac link below has more info on it including various explanations for how that name came to be.

In the book (and film) titled Racehoss, a former convict who served time in a penitentiary on the Brazos writes that the place was referred to by the convicts as "the burnin' hell."

So you might say that the men who tried to escape from the prison by running to the river were running from hell to the arms of God.
