cincinnati jail
bobby bare
it's cold as a well in cincinnati jail
i ain't got nobody. shouldn't have drunk that wine it messed up my country mind
but i didn't know that pretty gal wasn't free
and someone called the law and i had a southern drawl
the first one they locked up
you're right was me. now it's cold as a well in cincinnati jail
i ain't got nobody. i heard a lot about that great mid western town
so i thought i'd better go and look around look around
couldn't find me no job and my kind just don't rob
but they don't want no southern bums around. and it's cold as well in cincinnati jail
an appalachian boy ain't never known much joy
but i was better off in my blueridge mountain home sweet home
i could see the light of day i could while the time away
on the mornin' the government gave me to live on. oh
it's cold as well in cincinnati jail
