Hig Sheriff Blues |
| Get in trouble at Belzoni |
| There ain’t no use a screamin' and cryin' |
| Get in trouble in Belzoni |
| There ain’t no use a screamin' and cryin' |
| Mr. Will will take you back |
| To Belzoni jail house flyin' |
| Le' me tell you folksies |
| How he treated me |
| Le' me tell you folksies |
| How he treated me |
| An' he put me in a cellar |
| Just as dark as it could be |
| There I laid one evenin' |
| Mr. Purvis was standin' 'round |
| There I laid one evenin' |
| Mr. Purvis was standin' 'round |
| Mr. Purvis told Mr. Will |
| To let poor Charley down |
| It takes booze and blues, Lord |
| To carry me through |
| Takes booze and blues, Lord |
| To carry me through |
| But it did seem like years |
| In a jail house where there is no boo' |
| I got up one mornin' |
| Feelin' awe, hmm |
| I got up one mornin' |
| Feelin' mighty bad, hmm |
| An' it might not a been |
| Them Belzoni jail I had |
| (Blues I had, boys) |
| While I was in trouble |
| Ain’t no use a screamin' |
| When I was in prison |
| It ain’t no use a screamin and cryin' |
| Mr. Purvis the onliest man |
| Could ease that pain of mine |
