| Never will forget that day |
| When they had me in Parchman Jail |
| Would no one even come and go my bail |
| I wonder how long |
| Before I can change my clothes? |
| I wonder how long |
| 'Fore I can change my clothes? |
| So many days I would be sittin' down |
| I would be sittin' down lookin' down on my clothes |
| I wonder how long |
| Before I can change my clothes? |
| I wonder how long |
| 'Fore I can change my clothes |
| So many days when the day would be cold |
| They would car' me out in the rain and cold |
| I wonder how long |
| Before I can change my clothes? |
| I wonder how long |
| 'Fore I can change my clothes? |
| So many days when the day would be cold |
| You can stand and look at these convict toes |
| I wonder how long |
| Before I can change my clothes? |
| I wonder how long |
| 'Fore I can change my clothes? |
| So many days I would be |
| Walkin' down the road |
| I can hardly walk for lookin' down on my clothes |
| I wonder how long |
| Before I can change my clothes? |
| I wonder how long |
| 'Fore I can change my clothes |
| Never will forget that day |
| When they taken my clothes |
| Taken my citizen’s clothes |
| And throwed them away |
| Wonder how long |
| Before I can change my clothes? |
| I wonder how long |
| 'Fore I can change my clothes. |
