Big House Bound

Big House Bound - Blind Boy Fuller

I never will forget the day : they transferred me to the county jail

I had shot the woman I love : ain't got no one to come go my bail

Then I sent for my friend : please spare the rod

Then my friend sent me word : Lord the job was too doggone hard

I got friend who's got money : please tell him come go my bail

And my friend sent me word : had no business in the county jail

Then I felt all right : till the judge turned around and frowned

Well I'm sorry for you buddy : but you on your last go-round

I says mmm : ain't got nobody now

Well I got nobody : Lord come and go my bail

I says mmm : I mean come and go my bail
