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 |
