Mississippi Jail House Groan
I promise not to holler now now, mama, hi-hi
Layin' in jail, now, my back turned to the wall
And I laid in jail, my back turned to the wall
I laid in jail, now, my back turned to the wall
And she brought me coffee, and she brought me tea
Yes, she brought me coffee, Lord, and she brought me tea
She brought me everything, now, but that low-down jail house key
I promise not to holler, now now, mama now, hi-hi
And my Mama told me, my Papa told me, too
And my Mama told me, my Papa stood and cried
"You got too many women, now now, baby for your size"
I looked at my Mama and I hung my head and cried
I looked at my Mama and I hung my head and cried
If my woman quit me now, Lord, I'm 'fraid I'll die
Layin' in jail, now, my back turned to the wall
And I laid in jail, my back turned to the wall
I laid in jail, now, my back turned to the wall
And she brought me coffee, and she brought me tea
Yes, she brought me coffee, Lord, and she brought me tea
She brought me everything, now, but that low-down jail house key
I promise not to holler, now now, mama now, hi-hi
And my Mama told me, my Papa told me, too
And my Mama told me, my Papa stood and cried
"You got too many women, now now, baby for your size"
I looked at my Mama and I hung my head and cried
I looked at my Mama and I hung my head and cried
If my woman quit me now, Lord, I'm 'fraid I'll die
