Standin' in the jailhouse A-wishin' I was free I'd like to get out But I ain't got a key-ey I got them lonesome jailhouse blues A-waitin' for a train that'll take me away And I'll be gone for many a day I got them lonesome jailhouse blues A-standin' in the jailhouse lookin' at the street And this jail floor is hurtin' my feet I got them lonesome jailhouse blues A-watchin' my friends as they go by They'd get me out if-a they would try I got them lonesome jailhouse blues A-lookin' down that lonesome railroad line I'm thinkin' of a girl that I left behind I got them lonesome jailhouse blues The jury said that I have to go When they sit me here without a show I got them lonesome jailhouse blues So goodbye friends I'm a-leavin' today The foreman train's gonna take me away I got them lonesome jailhouse blues The governor's spare don't worry me It's the way I feel that makes me sing I got them lonesome jailhouse blue-ues
