Lyrics
You hear me singin Down in the bottom of the world A thousand miles from nowhere, dreamin bout a girl She used to love me but I, went away They gonna keep me here til the Judgement Day Lord, lord, lord, I got the Jailhouse Blues Ain't no tellin What a man will do This old world, to make it through Some would murder with a gun or a knife Some would lock a man away for the rest of his life Lord, lord, lord, I got the Jailhouse Blues I got the Jailhouse Blues Just as blue as I can be My baby got a heart Like a rock in the bottom of the sea I got the Jailhouse Blues An it ain't no lie, lawd Lock on the door. I broke the law I got the Jailhouse Blues, (play it for me.) They says a blind man Don't see nothin when he dream There's plenty things, wish I never seen I wish I never seen her askin why When they come and taken me, the way that she cried Lord, lord, lord I got the Jailhouse Blues I got the Jailhouse Blues Just as blue as I can can be My baby got a heart Like a rock in the bottom of the sea I got the Jailhouse Blues An it ain't no lie, lawd Lock on the door, I broke the law I got the Jailhouse blues I got the Jailhouse Blues Just as blue as I can be My baby got a heart Like a rock in the bottom of the sea I got the Jailhouse Blues An it ain't no lie, lawd Lock on the door, I broke the law I got the Jailhouse Blues
