Jailhouse Blues

This house is surely getting raided

Yes, sir

30 days in jail

With my back turned to the wall

30 days in jail

With my back turned to the wall

Look here Mr. Jailkeeper

Put another gal in my stall

I don't mind being in jail

But I gotta stay there so long

I don't mind being in jail

But I gotta stay there so long

Every friend I've had

Done shook hands and gone

Better stop your man

From tickling me under my chin

Better stop your man

From tickling me under my chin

If he keeps on tickling

I'm gonna lick him on in

Good morning blues

Blues, how do you do?

Good morning blues

Blues, how do you do?

I just came here to have a few words

Have a few words with you

When a blues first got on me

They poured like a shower of rain

When a blues first got on me

They poured like a shower of rain

And I cried all night, honey

Ain't that a shame?

Going up to the country

And I can't take you

On up to the country and I can't take you

Nothing in the country

That a monkey man can do
