County Jail Blues

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
They picked me up, put me in the county jailThey picked me up, put me in the county jailThey wouldn't let my woman come and post my bailNow I'm in prison, I've almost done my timeNow I'm in prison, I've almost done my timeThey gave me six months, I had to work out nineI know my baby, she's gonna jump and shoutI know my baby, she's gonna jump and shoutWhen the train comes in and I come walking outTake these stripes from around me, chains from around my legsTake these stripes from around me, chains from around my legsThe stripes don't hurt me; the chains could kill me dead
