| Gonna journey up the Hudson |
| Goin' on a lonesome trail |
| Gonna journey up the Hudson |
| Goin' on a lonesome trail |
| They can put me in the Death House |
| Or keep me in the Sing Sing Jail |
| I wrote and asked the warden |
| Why they called the jail the Sing Sing |
| I wrote and asked the warden |
| Why the called the jail the Sing Sing |
| He said, «Stand here by this rock pile |
| And listen to them hammers ring» |
| He turns in the court house |
| Papers sellin' for fifty cents |
| He turns in the court house |
| Papers sellin' for fifty cents |
| All the judge tryin' to tell me |
| My lawyer’s pleadin' self defense |
| The judge said, «Listen, Bessie |
| Tell me why you killed your man» |
| The judge said, «Listen, Bessie |
| Tell me why you killed your man» |
| I said, «Judge, you ain’t no woman |
| And you can’t understand» |
| You can send me up the river |
| Or send me to that mean old jail |
| You can send me up the river |
| Or send me to that mean old jail |
| I killed my man and I don’t need no bail |
