Lock Step Blues

歌詞

I used to shake my feet in a midnight prance I used to shake my feet in a midnight prance Now they got me doin' a different kind of dance I couldn't keep away from wild women, bad liquor, cards and dice I couldn't keep away from bad women, bad whiskey and cards and dice Now I'm doin' the lockstep, baby, things ain't going so nice Don't matter to me whether it's sunshine, snow or rain It don't matter to me whether it's sunshine, snow or rain Because I can't go gay-cattin' and carryin' a ball and chain Mean old jailer, taken away my dancin' shoes I say, a mean old jailer, taken away my dancin' shoes I can't strut my stuff when I've got those lockstep blues Big rats in my cell keeps me awoke all night I said, big rats in my cell keeps me awoke all night My woman done turned me down, and I don't think that's right Every mornin', I waltz down that big long hall I say, every mornin', I waltz down that big long hall I'm craving for my mama, can't make no time at all (Lockstep blues, people. Oh-ho)
