Leadbelly |
|
Thirty days in the workhouse |
|
Six long months in jail |
|
Now they got me in trouble |
|
No one to go my bail |
|
When a man get in trouble |
|
Everybody turns him down |
|
Now I believe to my soul |
|
That I'm prison bound |
|
Has a done like my baby told me |
|
I wouldn't be here today |
|
I would not be in trouble |
|
Six long months to stay |
|
Now please Mr. Jailer |
|
Unlock the door for me |
|
The jail house is full of blues |
|
And they done come down on me |
|
I'm a hard workin' prisoner |
|
Sent here without a trial |
|
Now my heart is achin' to stay here |
|
This great long while |
