Jailhouse Blues - Big Ville, Big-E, Momo & Ms Dee

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.
