Jail House Blues

Jail House Blues - Lightnin' Hopkins

Written by：Clarence C. Williams

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

You know 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

Yes you know some other skinner

Must be kickin' in my stall

Hey mister jailer please

Will you please bring me the key

Hey mister jailer

Will you please Sir bring me the key

I just want you to open the door

'Cause this ain't no place for me
