Penal Farm Blues

Penal Farm Blues - Scrapper Blackwell

Early one morning on my way to the penal farm

Early one morning on my way to the penal farm

Baby all I've done ain't done nothing wrong

Loaded in the dog wagon and down the road we go

Loaded in the dog wagon and down the road we go

Oh baby oh baby you don't know

Into the office then to the bathhouse below

Into the office then to the bathhouse below

And with a light shower baby we change our clothes

All last night baby it seemed so long

All last night oh baby it seemed so long

All I've done I ain't done nothing wrong

I'll tell you people the penal farm is a lonesome place

I'll tell you people the penal farm is a lonesome place

And no one there to smile up in your face

Oh baby baby it won't be so long now

Oh baby baby it won't be so long now

Before your daddy he will be coming home

Oh baby baby won't you come after me

Oh baby baby won't you come after me

My time is up and penal farm has set me free
