Cell Bound Blues
 

Hey jailor : tell me what have I done
You got me all bound in chains : because I killed that woman's son

I'm down in prison : all bound in chains
Cold and dark all around me : no one to go my bail

I've got a mother and father : they were never satisfied with me
Got a sister and brother : wonder do they think of poor me

I walked in my room : the other night
Some man walked in : and began to fight

I take my gun : in my right hand
Holy smokes : I don't know but I killed my man

When I did that : it crossed my head
First shot I fired : my man fell dead

The paper came out : and told the news
That's what I said : I got those cell bound blues
