Jefferson Jericho Blues
Well, poor Tom Jefferson, he
Loved the little maid out back
Midnight creepin'
Out to the servant shack
Kept a secret under the bed
Wrapped in a burlap sack
Well, I drove all day and night
Out to Jericho
But in my second mind, I
Knew it was time to go
Every time that bugle blows
Well, she ain't no good for me
But I just can't let go
If I sit here thinkin', my
Thoughts will overflow
And I can't keep from cryin', can't keep
Time from movin' slow
Well, poor Tom Jefferson, he
Loved the little maid out back
Midnight creepin'
Loved the little maid out back
Midnight creepin'
Out to the servant shack
Kept a secret under the bed
Wrapped in a burlap sack
Well, I drove all day and night
Out to Jericho
But in my second mind, I
Knew it was time to go
Every time that bugle blows
Well, she ain't no good for me
But I just can't let go
If I sit here thinkin', my
Thoughts will overflow
And I can't keep from cryin', can't keep
Time from movin' slow
Well, poor Tom Jefferson, he
Loved the little maid out back
Midnight creepin'
