Jailhouse Blues

Jailhouse Blues - Lightnin' Hopkins

Well I wouldn't mind staying in jail

But I've gotta stay there so long

Well I wouldn't mind staying in jail

But I've gotta stay there so long

You know it seem like all my friends

Well they done shook hands and gone

Thirty days in jail with my back turned to the wall

Thirty days in jail with my back turned to the wall

You know some other skinner must be kicking in my stall

Hey mister my jailer

I wouldn't mind staying in jail

But I've gotta stay there so long

I wouldn't mind staying in jail

But I've gotta stay there so long

You know it seem like all my friends

Well they done shook hands and gone
