lonesome jailhouse blues - barbara dane lyrics

Loading...

all night long i sat in my cell and cried
all night long i sat in my cell and cried
cause this old jail got loneseome and i can’t be satisfied

i tried to eat my breakfact i couldn’t for shedding tears
i tried to eat my breakfact i couldn’t for shedding tears
it almost breaks my heart to think of these five long years

o lordy lord, what am i going to do?
o lordy lord, what am i going to do?
cause i walked this jail cell till i wore out all my shoes

i wouldn’t treat a dog like some people are treating me
i wouldn’t treat a dog like some people are treating me
they treat me like some animal that they can’t even see

i don’t know alabama cause alabama’s not my home
i don’t know alabama cause alabama’s not my home
but ever since i’ve been here, i’m sorry for the day i was born

i’m singing this song cause i want everyone to know
i’m singing this song cause i want everyone to know
how a poor boy feels when he’s be down to low
