Prisoner's Plea

歌詞

Every morning before the break of dawn My summer sail house is one by one Pick and shovel in my hand, prove to the one I name natural man Six months on the road gang, ain't no time I'm doing one to Ninety Nine God from my left and on my right Way from sun up to the dusk at night Ain't nothing hurt me but my back and side Ain't nothin' woory me but my wife and child Since I been here think I'll go mad What did I ever have to be so bad If they ever lordy let me go I will never do wrong no more Ain't nothing hurt me but my back and side Ain't nothing worry me but my wife and child When I was three I thought I was smart A whole lotta women and a Cadillac car I had plenty of women boys in my stable Then I got eyes for my pretty next door neighbour She was sweet as a woman can be She kept rolling those pretty eyes at me I got a little hide and made my midnight (...) That sweet woman said she was in love with me Her husband came in about half past four He caught making love down on the floor I killed that man in self defense Ninety nine years will make me learn some sense Ain't nothing hurt me but my back and side Ain't nothing worry me but my wife and child Oh oh oh my back and side Oh oh oh my wife and child Oh oh oh my back and side Oh oh oh my wife and child
