Jail-House Blues

Jailhouse Blues - Bessie Smith

Written by：Smith/Williams

Lord this house is goin' to get raided yes Sir

Thirty days in jail with my back turned to the

Wall turned to the wall

Thirty days in jail with my back turned to the

Wall

Look here Mr jail keeper put another gal in my stall

I don't mind bein' in jail but I got to

Stay there so long so long

I don't mind bein' in jail but I got to

Stay there so long so long

When every friend I have is done shook hands and

Gone

You better stop your man from tickling me under my

Chin under my chin

You better stop your man from tickling me under my

Chin

'Cause if he keeps on tickling I'm sure gonna take

Him on in

Good morning blues blues how do you do how do

You do

Good morning blues blues how do you do

Say I just come here to have a few words

With you
