County Jail Blues — текст песни (Cream & Eric Clapton)

by Alfred Fields

They picked me up, put me in the county jail.
They picked me up, put me in the county jail.
They wouldn`t let my woman come and post my bail.

Now I`m in prison, I`ve almost done my time.
Now I`m in prison, I`ve almost done my time.
They gave me six months, I had to work out nine.

I know my baby, she`s gonna jump and shout.
I know my baby, she`s gonna jump and shout.
When the train comes in and I come walking out.

Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs.
Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs.
The stripes don`t hurt me; the chains could kill me dead.
