Big Maceo - Country Jail Blues lyrics

They picked me up An put me in the country jail They picked me up An put me in the country jail They wouldn't even let my woman Come and go my bail Now, I'm in prison But I've almost did my time Now, I'm in prison But I've almost did my time They give me six months But I had to work out nine 'Cause I know my baby She's gonna jump an shout I know my baby She's gonna jump an shout When that train roll up An I come walkin' out 'Now play 'em Mr. Tampa' (guitar, piano & ba**) So, take these stripes around me Chain way from 'round my legs These stripes from 'round me And these chains from 'roundlegs Well, these stripes don't hurt me But these chains gonna k** me dead.
