The Jail House Blues - Sam Collins
When I was lying in jail with my back turned to the wall
When I was lying in jail with my back turned to the wall
I could lay down and dream I could hear my good gal squall
Lord she brought me coffee and she brought me tea
Lord she brought me coffee and she brought me tea
Fell dead on the floor with the jailhouse key
I'm going down to the courthouse see the judge and the chief police
I'm going down to the courthouse see the judge and the chief police
My good gal fell dead now I sure can't see no peace
I'll tell you what I'll do
And I sure god ain't going to tell no lie
I'll tell you what I'll do
And I sure god ain't going to tell no lie
I believe I'll lay down take morphine and die
