Lyrics Penal Farm Blues - Scrapper Blackwell

Penal Farm Blues

Early one morning: On my way to the penal farm
Baby all I’ve done: Ain’t done nothing wrong
Loaded in the *dog* wagon: And down the road we go
Oh baby: Oh baby you don’t know
Into the office: Then to the bathhouse below
And with a light shower: Baby we change our clothes
All last night: Baby it seemed so long
All I’ve done: I ain’t done nothing wrong
I’ll tell you people: The penal farm is a lonesome place
And no one there: To smile up in your face
Oh baby baby: It won’t be so long now
Before your daddy: He will be coming home
Oh baby baby: Won’t you come after me
My time is up: And penal farm has set me free
