Nobody Knows But Me — текст песни (Hank Snow)

Recorded by Hank Snow

Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues
Till you get within four walls
And the jailerman turns that big black key
That`s when your spirit falls
Then you drag yourself up to the bars
And while you gaze out at the stars
This is what you say

Why did I stray from the rightous path
Nobody knows but me
There on the outside you all can laugh
I don`t need your sympathy
For after I`m paid for the liquor I`ve sold
Gonna leave this place worth my weight in gold
So why did I stray from the rightous path
Nobody knows but me

When you realize that you`re all alone
Sittin` in a two-by-four
That little cell is just a taste of Hell
If you ain`t been there before
Well` you`re locked up tight but they treat you fair
You get everything that you need in there
That`s just why I say

Why did I stray from the rightous path
Nobody knows but me
There on the outside you all can laugh
I don`t need your sympathy
For after I`m paid for the liquor I`ve sold
Gonna leave this place worth my weight in gold
So why did I stray from the rightous path
Nobody knows but me
