Patrol Wagon Blues Songtext
von St. Louis Jimmy Oden

Serve me one more drink, just before the wagon comes
Serve me one more drink, just before the wagon comes
The law has got both doors blocked and it′s no way for me to run

Every time I'm in this neighborhood somebody rings up the riot car
Every time I′m in this neighborhood somebody rings up the riot car
They don't intend for me to ever have my bar


Wait just one minute, I think I hear the wagon bell
Wait just one minute, I think I hear the wagon bell
The sergeant said, "Let's get ready, you all are going to catch hell"

And I asked the desk sergeant, "What is you-all holding me on?"
And I asked the desk sergeant, "What is you-all holding me on?"
He said, "I don′t know, boy, holding you is solid bound"

The next morning in the police court, I was sworn in on the truth
The next morning in the police court, I was sworn in on the truth
Then I pleaded not guilty, and the judge, he turned me a-loose
