Prison Blues Come Down on Me

Prison Blues Come Down On Me - Lighnin' Hopkins

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 playing 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

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

Mmmmmmmmmm 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

Well 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
