Big Maceo - Country Jail Blues Lyrics
They picked me upAn put me in the country jailThey picked me upAn put me in the country jailThey wouldn't even let my womanCome and go my bailNow, I'm in prisonBut I've almost did my timeNow, I'm in prisonBut I've almost did my timeThey give me six monthsBut I had to work out nine'Cause I know my babyShe's gonna jump an shoutI know my babyShe's gonna jump an shoutWhen that train roll upAn I come walkin' out'Now play 'em Mr. Tampa'(guitar, piano & bass)So, take these stripes around meChain way from 'round my legsThese stripes from 'round meAnd these chains from 'roundlegsWell, these stripes don't hurt meBut these chains gonna kill me dead.
