[00:00.00]Prison Cell Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson
[00:08.73]Getting tired of sleeping
[00:10.80]In this lowdown lonesome cell
[00:16.51]Lord I wouldn't have been here
[00:18.63]If it had not been for Nell
[00:25.87]Lay awake at night
[00:27.72]And just can't eat a bite
[00:35.67]Used to be my rider
[00:37.44]But she just won't treat me right
[00:45.13]Got a red-eyed captain
[00:47.41]And a squabbling boss
[00:52.82]Got a mad dog sergeant
[00:54.93]Honey and he won't knock off
[01:01.14]I'm getting tired of sleeping
[01:03.41]In this lowdown lonesome cell
[01:09.04]Lord I wouldn't been here
[01:10.80]If it had not been for Nell
[01:18.48]I asked the government
[01:19.89]To knock some days off my time
[01:27.09]Well the way I'm treated
[01:28.74]I'm about to lose my mind
[01:36.33]I wrote to the governor
[01:38.15]Please turn me a-loose
[01:44.07]Since I don't get no answer
[01:46.34]I know it ain't no use
[01:52.99]I'm getting tired of sleeping
[01:54.53]In this lowdown lonesome cell
[02:00.57]Lord I wouldn't have been here
[02:02.71]If it had not been for Nell
[02:08.46]I hate to turn over
[02:10.30]And find my rider gone
[02:16.80]Walking across my floor
[02:18.86]Lordy how I moan
[02:25.18]Lord I wouldn't have been here
[02:26.98]If it had not been for Nell
[02:33.66]I'm getting tired of sleeping
[02:35.25]In this lowdown lonesome cell
