Eric Clapton – County Jail Blues Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:36 Second

They picked me up
Put me in the county jail
They picked me up
Put me in the county jail
They wouldnt let my woman
Come and post my bail

Now Im in prison
Ive almost done my time
Now Im in prison
Ive almost done my time
They gave me six months
I had to work out nine

I know my baby
Shes gonna jump and shout
I know my baby
Shes 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 dont hurt me
The chains could kill me dead
