Nobody Knows But Me

Nobody Knows But Me - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·羅傑斯)

Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues

Till you get within four walls

And the old jailerman turns

That big black key

That's when your spirit falls

Then you drag yourself up to the bars

And while you gaze out at the stars

This is what you say

Why did I stray from the righteous path

Nobody knows but me

There on the outside you all can laugh

I don't need your sympathy

For after I've paid for

The liquor I've sold

I'll leave this place

Worth my weight in gold

So why did I stray

From the righteous path

Nobody knows but me

Nobody knows but me

When you realize

That you're all alone

Sittin' in a two-by-four

That little cell is

Just a taste of hell

If you ain't been there before

You're locked up tight

But they treat you fair

You get everything

That you need in there

That's just why you say

Why did I stray

From the righteous path

Nobody knows but me

There on the outside

You all can laugh

I don't need your sympathy

For after I've paid

For the liquor I've sold

I'll leave this place

Worth my weight in gold

So why did I stray

From the righteous path

Nobody knows but me

Nobody knows but me
