County Jail Blues lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics County Jail Blues lyrics Songwriters: Fields, Alfred; They picked me up, put me in the county jail They picked me up, put me in the county jail They wouldn t let my woman come and post my bail Now I m in prison, I ve almost done my time Now I m in prison, I ve almost done my time They gave me six months, I had to work out nine I know my baby, she s gonna jump and shout I know my baby, she s gonna jump and shout When the train comes in and I come walking out Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs The stripes don t hurt me, the chains could kill me dead song lyrics
