Penitentiary Blues Lyrics

[Intro]
Penitentiary Blues
Mmm

[Verse 1]
Big Brazos, here I come
Hoo lord, have mercy
Big Brazos, here I come
You know I'm gonna do time for another man
When there hasn't been a thing poor lightnin' done

[Verse 2]
This here oughta been on bread
Nineteen and twenty
Bud Russell drove pretty women just like you did
Ugly men, I'm big bad
Fiendin' to do time for another man
And ain't nothin' poor lightnin' done
Well you oughta be ashamed

[Verse 3]
Yeah, you know my mama called me
I answered "Mam'"
See said "You're tired of working?"
And I said "Mama, yes I am"
Papa called me
I answered "Sir"
He said "Son, if you're tired of working
When they hear you going, stay there"
I couldn't
No, I just couldn't hear myself
You know that a man can't help but feel bad
When he done time for someone else

[Outro]
You better watch it, all the time
