Cincinnati Jail Lyrics - Bobby Bare

It's cold as a well in Cincinnati jail 

I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody 

Shouldn't have drunk that wine 

It messed up my country mind 

But I didn't know that pretty gal wasn't free 

Not free 

And someone called the law 

And I had a southern drawl 

The first one they locked up 

You're right was me 

Now it's cold as a well in Cincinnati jail 

I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody 

I heard a lot about that great mid western town 

So I thought I'd better go and look around look around 

Couldn't find me no job 

And my kind just don't rob 

But they don't want no southern bums around 

And it's cold as well in Cincinnati jail 

I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody 

Lord an Appalachian boy ain't never known much joy 

But I was better off in my Blueridge Mountain home sweet home 

I could see the light of day 

I could while the time away 

On the mornin' the government gave me to live on 

Oh it's cold as well in Cincinnati jail 

I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody
