Lyrics Jailhouse Blues - Chris Barber's Jazz Band, Ottilie Patterson

Jailhouse Blues

Voices all around me
Not a friendly face I see
Voices all around me
Not a friendly face I see
And the jail warden
Has closed his big
I’m gone all me
It’s a house of sorrow
And a mention affair
It’s a house of sorrow
And a mention affair
When you in jail one hour
Seems like a million year
La la la di da?
You ring your hands and cry
There’s nothing you can do
You ring your hands and cry
There’s nothing you can do
Seems like an old riffle
Has turn his back on you
La la la di da?
Oh want you hear my freedom
This evil house of love
Fade out
