Walter “Buddy Boy” HawkinsJailhouse Fire Blues Lyrics
[Intro]
Heavens, get up!
Jailhouse burn down
[Verse 1]
Hey, the jailer, don't sleep so sound
I said Mr. Jailer, I said don't sleep so sound
Jailhouse on fire, station all burnin' down
[Verse 2]
Because that woman I love, she in that jailhouse now
I said the woman I love, she in the jailhouse now
Well please, Mr. Jailer, you gotta get her out there somehow
[Verse 3]
Ooh, my woman in trouble now
I said ooh, mama, my brown in trouble now
I said partner, one of these cool mornings, I'm gonna get her out jail
[Verse 4]
When I get my little fair brownskin, up the country bound
I said when I get my fair brown, buddy boy, I'm goin' up the country bound
And hey, Mr. Jailer, I hope your jailhouse burn down
