County Jail Blues Lyrics
County Jail Blues - Big Maceo
They pick me out and put me in the county jail
They pick me out and put me in the county jail
They wouldn't even let my woman come and go my bail
Now I'm in prison
But I've almost did my time
Now I'm in prison
But I've almost did my time
They give me six months
But I had to work out nine
'Cause I know my baby she's gonna jump and shout
I know my baby she's gonna jump and shout
When that train roll up and I come walking out
Now play 'em Mister Tampa
So take these stripes from around me
Chains from around my neck
These stripes from around me
And these chains from around my neck
Well these stripes don't hurt me
But these chains oughta give me death
