They picked me up An put me in the county jail
They picked me up An put me in the county jail
They wouldn’t even let my woman
Come and go my bail
Now, I’m in prison
But I’ve almost did my time
Now, I’m in prison
But I’ve almost did my time
They give me six months
But I had to work out nine
'Cause I know my baby
She’s gonna jump an shout
I know my baby
She’s gonna jump an shout
When that train roll up An I come walkin' out
'Now play 'em Mr. Tampa'
(guitar, piano & bass)
So, take these stripes around me Chain way from 'round my legs
These stripes from 'round me And these chains from 'roundlegs
Well, these stripes don’t hurt me But these chains gonna kill me dead.
