| 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 |
