Jailhouse Blues Lyrics - Dinah Washington

You hear me singin, 

Down in the bottom of the world, 

A thousand miles from nowhere, dreamin bout a girl 

She used to love me but I, went away, 

They gonna keep me here til the Judgement Day. 

Lord, lord, lord, I got the Jailhouse Blues 

Ain't no tellin, 

What a man will do, 

This old world, to make it through, 

Some would murder with a gun or a knife, 

Some would lock a man away for the rest of his life, 

Lord, lord, lord, I got the Jailhouse Blues

I got the Jailhouse Blues, 

Just as blue as I can be, 

My baby got a heart, 

Like a rock in the bottom of the sea 

I got the Jailhouse Blues, 

An it ain't no lie, lawd, 

Lock on the door. I broke the law, 

I got the Jailhouse Blues, (play it for me.), 

They says a blind man, 

Don't see nothin when he dream, 

There's plenty things, wish I never seen. 

I wish I never seen her askin why, 

When they come and taken me, the way that she cried, 

Lord, lord, lord, 

I got the Jailhouse Blues
