Joliet Blues
When they sent me to prison
My baby sat down and cried
When they sent me to prison
My baby sat down and cried
She said, "Daddy, you know that I love you"
But you keep me dissatisfied"
I said, "If I didn't love you, baby"
I would not have done my crime"
I said, "If I didn't love you, baby"
I would not have done my crime"
Well, now you know I'm awful sorry
For to leave you behind
She was a smooth little woman
Just as sweet as she could be
She was a smooth little woman
Just as sweet as she could be
Well, she waited and told many lies
Before she turned her back on me
My baby sat down and cried
When they sent me to prison
My baby sat down and cried
She said, "Daddy, you know that I love you"
But you keep me dissatisfied"
I said, "If I didn't love you, baby"
I would not have done my crime"
I said, "If I didn't love you, baby"
I would not have done my crime"
Well, now you know I'm awful sorry
For to leave you behind
She was a smooth little woman
Just as sweet as she could be
She was a smooth little woman
Just as sweet as she could be
Well, she waited and told many lies
Before she turned her back on me
