The Jail House Blues |
| When I was layin' in jail with my back turned to the wall |
| When I was layin' in jail with my back turned to the wall |
| I could’n' lay down and dream, I could hear my good gal squall |
| Lord, she brought me coffee and she brought me tea |
| Lord, she brought me coffee and she brought me tea |
| Fell dead at the door with the jailhouse key |
| I’m going down to the courthouse, see the judge and Chief Police |
| Going down to the courthouse, see the judge and Chief Police |
| My good gal fell dead and I sure can’t see no peace |
| I’ll tell you what I’ll do, and I, sure God, won’t tell no lie |
| Tell you what I’ll do, and I, sure God, ain’t gonna lie |
| I b’lieve I’ll lay down, take morphine and die |
