Country Jail Blues Songtext
von Eric Clapton

And this one is called the County Jail

They picked me up
They put me in the county jail
They picked me up
And they put me in the county jail
They wouldn′t let my woman
Come and post my bail


Now I'm in prison
But I almost did my time
Now I′m in prison
But I almost did my time
They gave me six months
But I had to work out nine

I know my baby
She's gonna jump and shout
I know my baby
She's gonna jump and shout
When the train goes up
Even when I come walking out

Take these stripes from around me
Chains from around my legs
Take these stripes around me
And these chains around my legs
The stripes shouldn′t hurt me
But the chains about to get me dead
