Everyday, in jail, we got the blues!

County Jail Blues

They picked me up, put me in the county jail.

They picked me up, put me in the county jail.

They wouldnt let my woman come and post my bail.

Now Im in prison, Ive almost done my time.

Now Im in prison, Ive almost done my time.

They gave me six months, I had to work out nine.

I know my baby, shes gonna jump and shout.

I know my baby, shes 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 dont hurt me; the chains could kill me dead.
