Penitentiary Blues Songtext

Penitentiary Blues
Mmmm, Big Brazos here I come
Mmmm, Oh Lord have mercy, Big Brazos here I come
You know I′m gonna do time for another man
When there hasn't been a thing Poor Lightnin′ done

They say you oughta been on Brazos 1910
Bud Russell droves pretty women just like it did ugly mens
Mmmm big Brazos, Oh Lord yes here I come
Fiendin' to do time for another man
And ain't nothin′ Poor Lightnin′ done


Well you oughta be ashamed

Yeah, you know my mama called me
I answered "Mam'"
She said "Son, you tired of working?"
I said "Mama, yes I am"
Papa called me, I answered "Sir"
He said "Son,
If you′re tired of working when they hear you going, stay there for"
I couldn't, No, I just couldn′t help myself
You know that a man can't help but feel bad
When he doing time for someone else


You better watch it all the time
