The Jail House Blues

The Jail House Blues - Crying Sam Collins

When I was laying in jail with my

Back turn to the wall

When I was laying in jail with my

Back turn to the wall

I could lay down and dream

I could hear my good gal squall

Lord she brought me coffee

And she brought me tea

Lord she brought me coffee

And she brought me tea

Ran out dead out the do

With the jail house key

I'm goin' down to the courthouse

See the judge and the chief police

Goin' down to the courthouse

See the judge and the chief police

My good gal fell dead

And I should can't see no peace

I'll tell you what I will do and I will

Should good won't tell no lies

Tell you what I will do and I'll

Should good ain't going lie

I blieve I'll lay down

Take M******e and die
