Prison Blues Come Down On Me

Prison Blues Come Down On Me - Lightnin' Hopkins

Written by：Copyright Control

I'm wondering if my folks are gonna be there when

I make it there

I'm just wondering if they in the same ole spot

I don't know lightning but as bad as you

Playing that guitar now

They got to be there

But you playin it pretty lonesome there though

Some might be in heavan I can't never tell

No you know I'm just getting back

I been in state prison

Friend how was it down there

It was hard on me and it was a

Shame on everybody else

Yes now you can hear about how they would

Ring them big bells

Yeah

And every morning about the break of day

You can hear how how howling going on everyday

Well I got over it so I'm glad but mama's what

I'm thinking about

I wonder if she's in the same old spot

Yes I'm quite sure she's there but

I know she's got a worried mind

'Cause she's got to be worried over her child

Mmmm the blues come down on me

Lord have mercy child

Po' lightning can't hardly keep from crying

Yes the blues'll make you cry

I know how you feel

Whoo lord have mercy

Po' lightning can't hardly keep from crying

I'm just wondering will I ever make it back

To that old native home of mine

Please take me with ya when you go lightning

Lord have mercy
