Eleven Twenty-Nine Blues Lyrics by Leroy Carr

Whiskey Is My Habit, Good Women Is All I Crave: The Best of Leroy Carr

1934

Boy, I sure am blue

[Verse 1]
She ain't good-looking
But the good gal do go cream
She ain't good‑looking
But the good gal do go clean
And I'm crazy about my baby
Cos she is so mean

[Verse 2]
My gal got arrested
And they put her in the county jail
My gal got arrested
And they put her in the county jail
They filed her eleven twenty‑nine
And they ain’t even allowed her no bail

[Verse 3]
Now I'm going to see that judge
And talk to him myself
I'm going to see that judge
And talk to him myself
Tell him that he sent my gal to the county road
And left me by myself

[Verse 4]
Now I never felt so sorry
Till the keeper walked down the lane
Now I never felt so sorry
Till the keeper walked down the lane
And my heart struck sorrow
When he called my good gal's name

[Verse 5]
And I heard the jailor say hello
Prisoners all fall in line
And I heard the jailor say hello
Prisoners all fall in line
I'm also talking about that long‑chain woman
That got eleven twenty‑nine

[Verse 6]
I've got the blues so bad
That I just can't rest
I've got the blues so bad
That I just can't rest
I'm going to ask that jailor
Can I do my good gal's time myself?
