Chris Smither - Jailhouse Blues Lyrics

Chris Smither Lyrics

"Jailhouse Blues"

Well, I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind staying in jail
I got to stay there so long
Well, I wouldn't mind staying in jail
But I got to stay there so long
You know all my friends
They done shook hands and gone

Thirty days, thirty days in jail
My back turned to the wall
Thirty days in jail
My back turned to the wall
Boy, you know they got a skinner
He been kickin', kickin' in my stall

But I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind staying in jail
I got to stay there
So long
Yes, you know all my friends
They done shook hands and gone
