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
