Lyrics Joliet Blues - Johnny Shines

Joliet Blues

When they sent me to prison
My baby sat down and cried
When they sent me to prison
My baby sat down and cried
She said daddy you know that I love you
But you keep me dissatisfied
I said if I didn’t love you baby
I would not have done my crime
I said if I didn’t love you baby
I would not have done my crime
Well now you know I’m awful sorry
For to leave you behind
She was a smoother woman
Just as sweet as she could be
She was a smoother woman
Just as sweet as she could be
Well she waited and told me to lie
Before she turned her back on me
