(by Alfred Fields)
They picked me upput me in the county jail.
They picked me upput me in the county jail.
They wouldn t let my woman come and post my bail.
Now I m in prisonI ve almost done my time.
Now I m in prisonI ve almost done my time.
They gave me six monthsI had to work out nine.
I know my babyshe s gonna jump and shout.
I know my babyshe s gonna jump and shout.
When the train comes in and I come walking out.
Take these stripes from around mechains from around my legs.
Take these stripes from around mechains from around my legs.
The stripes don t hurt me; the chains could kill me dead.
