Leadbelly
Thirty days in the workhouse
Six long months in jail
Now they got me in trouble
No one to go my bail
When a man get in trouble
Everybody turns him down
Now I believe to my soul
That I'm prison bound
Has a done like my baby told me
I wouldn't be here today
I would not be in trouble
Six long months to stay
Now please Mr. Jailer
Unlock the door for me
The jail house is full of blues
And they done come down on me
I'm a hard workin' prisoner
Sent here without a trial
Now my heart is achin' to stay here
This great long while
