High Sherriff Blues
Get in trouble at Belzoni,
there ain't no use a screamin' and cryin', hmm
Get in trouble in Belzoni, ain't no use a screamin' and cryin', hmm
Mr. Will will take you back to Belzoni jail house flyin'
Let me tell you folksies how he treated me, eeh
Let me tell you folksies how he treated me, eeh
An' he put me in a cellar, just as dark as it could be
It was late one evenin' Mr. Purvis was standin' 'round, hmm
It was late one evenin' Mr. Purvis was standin' 'round, hmm
Mr. Purvis told Mr. Will to let poor Charley down
It takes booze and blues, Lord to carry me through, hmm
Takes booze and blues, Lord to carry me through, hmm
But it did seem like years in a jail house where there ain't no booze
I got up one mornin', feelin' awe, hmm
I got up one mornin', feelin' mighty bad, hmm
An' it might not a been them Belzoni jail I had
(Blues I had, boys)
While I was in trouble, ain't no use a screamin'
When I was in prison, ain't no use a screamin and cryin'
Mr. Purvis the onliest man could ease that pain of mine
there ain't no use a screamin' and cryin', hmm
Get in trouble in Belzoni, ain't no use a screamin' and cryin', hmm
Mr. Will will take you back to Belzoni jail house flyin'
Let me tell you folksies how he treated me, eeh
Let me tell you folksies how he treated me, eeh
An' he put me in a cellar, just as dark as it could be
It was late one evenin' Mr. Purvis was standin' 'round, hmm
It was late one evenin' Mr. Purvis was standin' 'round, hmm
Mr. Purvis told Mr. Will to let poor Charley down
It takes booze and blues, Lord to carry me through, hmm
Takes booze and blues, Lord to carry me through, hmm
But it did seem like years in a jail house where there ain't no booze
I got up one mornin', feelin' awe, hmm
I got up one mornin', feelin' mighty bad, hmm
An' it might not a been them Belzoni jail I had
(Blues I had, boys)
While I was in trouble, ain't no use a screamin'
When I was in prison, ain't no use a screamin and cryin'
Mr. Purvis the onliest man could ease that pain of mine
