| Went to bed last night and boy I was in my sleep, sleep |
| I went to bed last night and I was in my sleep |
| Woke up this mornin', the police was shakin' me |
| I went to the jailhouse, drunk and blues as I could be |
| I went to the jailhouse, drunk and blues as I could be |
| But that cruel old judge sent my man away from me |
| They carried me to the courthouse, Lordy, how I was cryin' |
| They carried me to the courthouse, Lordy, how I was cryin' |
| They jailed me sixty days in jail and money couldn’t pay my fine |
| Sixty days ain’t long if you can spend them as you choose |
| Sixty days ain’t long if you can spend them as you choose |
| But this seems like jail than a cell where there ain’t no booze |
| My life is all a misery when I cannot get my booze |
| My life is all a misery when I cannot get my booze |
| I spend every dime on liquor, got to have the booze |
| To go with these blues |
