Eleven Twenty-Nine Blues

She ain't good‑looking but the good gal do go clean
 She ain't good‑looking but the good gal do go clean
 And I'm crazy about my baby though she is so mean
 My gal got arrested and they put her in the county jail
 My gal got arrested and they put her in the county jail
 They fined her eleven twenty‑nine and they even allowed her no bail
 Now I'm going to see that judge and talk to him myself
 Now I'm going to see that judge and talk to him myself
 Tell him that he sent my gal to the county road and left me by myself
 Now I never felt so sorry till the people walked down the lane
 Now I never felt so sorry till the people walked down the lane
 And my heart struck sorrow when he called my good gal's name
 And I heard the jailor say hello prisoners all fall in line
 And I heard the jailor say hello prisoners all fall in line
 I'm also talking about that long-chain woman that got eleven twenty‑nine
 I've got the blues so bad that I just can't rest
 I've got the blues so bad that I just can't rest
 I'm going to ask that jailor can I do my good gal's time myself?
