How Long Before I Change My Clothes

Never will forget that day
 When they had me in Parchman Jail
 Would no one even come and go my bail
 I wonder how long
 Before I can change my clothes?
 I wonder how long
 'Fore I can change my clothes?
 So many days I would be sittin' down
 I would be sittin' down lookin' down on my clothes
 I wonder how long
 Before I can change my clothes?
 I wonder how long
 'Fore I can change my clothes
 So many days when the day would be cold
 They would car' me out in the rain and cold
 I wonder how long
 Before I can change my clothes?
 I wonder how long
 'Fore I can change my clothes?
 So many days when the day would be cold
 You can stand and look at these convict toes
 I wonder how long
 Before I can change my clothes?
 I wonder how long
 'Fore I can change my clothes?
 So many days I would be
 Walkin' down the road
 I can hardly walk for lookin' down on my clothes
 I wonder how long
 Before I can change my clothes?
 I wonder how long
 'Fore I can change my clothes
 Never will forget that day
 When they taken my clothes
 Taken my citizen's clothes
 And throwed them away
 Wonder how long
 Before I can change my clothes?
 I wonder how long
 'Fore I can change my clothes.
