Jailhouse Blues

You hear me singin,

Down in the bottom of the world,

A thousand miles from nowhere, dreamin bout a girl

She used to love me but I, went away,

They gonna keep me here til the Judgement Day.

Lord, lord, lord, I got the Jailhouse Blues

Ain't no tellin,

What a man will do,

This old world, to make it through,

Some would murder with a gun or a knife,

Some would lock a man away for the rest of his life,

Lord, lord, lord, I got the Jailhouse Blues

I got the Jailhouse Blues,

Just as blue as I can be,

My baby got a heart,

Like a rock in the bottom of the sea

I got the Jailhouse Blues,

An it ain't no lie, lawd,

Lock on the door. I broke the law,

I got the Jailhouse Blues, (play it for me.),

They says a blind man,

Don't see nothin when he dream,

There's plenty things, wish I never seen.

I wish I never seen her askin why,

When they come and taken me, the way that she cried,

Lord, lord, lord,

I got the Jailhouse Blues

I got the Jailhouse Blues,

Just as blue as I can can be,

My baby got a heart,

Like a rock in the bottom of the sea.

I got the Jailhouse Blues,

An it ain't no lie, lawd,

Lock on the door, I broke the law,

I got the Jailhouse blues

I got the Jailhouse Blues,

Just as blue as I can be,

My baby got a heart,

Like a rock in the bottom of the sea,

I got the Jailhouse Blues,

An it ain't no lie, lawd,

Lock on the door, I broke the law,

I got the Jailhouse Blues.
