County Jail Blues - Original |
| They picked me up, put me in the county jail. |
| They picked me up, put me in the county jail. |
| They wouldn’t let my woman come and post my bail. |
| Now I’m in prison, I’ve almost done my time. |
| Now I’m in prison, I’ve almost done my time. |
| They gave me six months, I had to work out nine. |
| I know my baby, she’s gonna jump and shout. |
| I know my baby, she’s gonna jump and shout. |
| When the train comes in and I come walking out. |
| Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs. |
| Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs. |
| The stripes don’t hurt me; |
| the chains could kill me dead. |
