shelby county workhouse blues - hambone willie newbern lyrics

Loading...

i left old memphis tennessee : on my way back to [dear
old] -maltree-
i my baby : if this

says i phoned my -room- : i didn’t have but one word to
say
cast my eyes to the lord : say you please have mercy on
poor me

well i left old -maltree- : [on my way back, going back]
to memphis tennessee
no sooner i got at the bus station lord : police he
arrested me

lord the police arrest me : carried me before the judge
well the lawyers talk so fast : didn’t have time to say
not nary word

well the lawyer pleaded: and the judge he done wrote it
down
says i’ll give you ten days buddy : out in little old
shelby town

and they stood me up : -tied me around the peg-
guard said to the trustee : said put the shackles -still-
around his leg

mmm : lordy lordy lord
lord the guards done treat me : like i was a lowdown dog
