County Jail Blues Lyrics

They picked me up an' put me in the county jail
They picked me up an' put me in the county jail
They wouldn't even let my woman, come an' call my bail
Now I'm in prison, but I've almost did my time
Now I'm in prison, but I've almost did my time
They give me six months, but I had to work off nine
'Cause I know my baby, she's gonna jump an' shout
I know my baby, she's gonna jump an' shoutBig Maceo Merriweather - County Jail Blues - http://motolyrics.com/big-maceo-merriweather/county-jail-blues-lyrics.html
When that train roll up, an' I come up walkin' out
Now play it Mr. Tampa!
So take these stripes from around me
Chain away from around my leg
These stripes from around me
An' these chain from around my leg
Well, these stripes don't hurt me
But these chains gonna kill me dead
