prison blues

every morning by da break of day

pick and shovel in my hand

prove to the worlds i's a natural man

don't not to hurt me but my back and spine

don't have to worry 'bout my wife and chil'

six months on the road you know is ain't no time

i got 1 to 99

workin' on the road you know is mighty sad

why i had to be so doggone bad?

hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

would go home but aint no news

jail house man won't let me go

if they ever let me go

i won't be a bad boy no more

six months on the road you know ain't no time

i doin 1 to 99

hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

have to work from sun to sun

when will i ever make it back home?

workin on the road you know is mighty sad

why'd big daddy have to be so bad?

if they ever let me go

big daddy won't be a bad boy no more

hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

have to work from sun

sun to sun

when will i ever make it back home?

when will i ever make it back home?
