The Judge Cliff Davis Blues by Papa Charlie Jackson
Performed by
Papa Charlie JacksonThe Judge Cliff Davis Blues Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh yes, oh yes, I now declare the court, city of Memphis, open
Let's have it quiet in the courtroom, please
Everybody be seated
Open the court, mister officer
First case on the docket today is the city of Memphis against Mr. Crow
[Verse 1]
The other afternoon
I was sitting in the courthouse room
The other afternoon
I was sitting in the courthouse room
I was listenin' to what was going on
[Verse 2]
After every case was tried
The prisoners were led inside
After every case was tried
The prisoners were led inside
As they passed by, thought I heard somebody cry
[Verse 3]
I'm on my way to jail
That's why you hear me wail
I'm on my way to jail
That's why you hear me wail
I got the Judge Cliff Davis blues
[Verse 4]
I'm through with doin' wrong
Just listen to my song
I'm through with doin' wrong
Just listen to my song
I got the Judge Cliff Davis blues
[Verse 5]
I told the judge my tale of woe
He heard that very tale befo'
I told the judge my tale of woe
He heard that very tale befo'
That's why you hear me wail
I'm on my way to jail
[Outro]
I got the Judge Cliff Davis blues
Memphis gave us the Judge Cliff Davis blues
I got the Judge Cliff Davis blues
Good Lord, save us, the Judge Cliff Davis blues
