blind lemon jefferson - prison cell blues lyrics

Loading...

getting tired of sleeping in this lowdown lonesome cell
lord, i wouldn’t have been here if it had not been for nell

lay awake at night and just can’t eat a bite
used to be my rider but she just won’t treat me right

got a red-eyed captain and a squabbling boss
got a mad dog sergeant, honey, and he won’t knock off

i’m getting tired of sleeping in this lowdown lonesome cell
lord, i wouldn’t ‘ve been here if it had not been for nell

i asked the government to knock some days off my time
well, the way i’m treated, i’m about to lose my mind

i wrote to the governor, please turn me a-loose
since i don’t get no answer, i know it ain’t no use

i’m getting tired of sleeping in this lowdown lonesome cell
lord, i wouldn’t have been here if it had not been for nell

i hate to turn over and find my rider gone
walking across my floor, lordy, how i moan

lord, i wouldn’t have been here if it had not been for nell
i’m getting tired of sleeping in this lowdown lonesome cell

- blind lemon jefferson
