Jail-House Blues

Lyrics

Lord, this house is goin' to get raided, yes, sir
 ♪
 Thirty days in jail with my back turned to the wall, turned to the wall
 Thirty days in jail with my back turned to the wall
 ♪
 Look here, Mr. Jail-keeper, put another gal in my stall
 I don't mind being in jail, but I got to stay there so long, so long
 I don't mind being in jail, but I got to stay there so long, so long
 When every friend I have is done shook hands and gone
 You better stop your man from tickling me under my chin, under my chin
 You better stop your man from tickling me under my chin
 'Cause if he keeps on tickling, I'm sure gonna take him on in
 ♪
 Good morning, blues, blues, how do you do? How do you do?
 Good morning, blues, blues, how do you do?
 ♪
 Say, I just come here to have a few words with you
