POLICE STATION BLUES

I was standin' on the corner I did not mean no harm
I was standin' on the corner I just sorta looking 'round
Now then the police come up and arrest me lord and he carried me
 down

Now he take me to the station and he left me there alone
Now he take me to the station and he left me there alone
I gotta thinking about my poor women lord and my wife at hom

Now down in my police station wander 'round there all night long
Now down in my police station wander 'round there all night long
You gotta sleep on a plank now lordy wit' your head on your
 right arm

Gonna write a letter to my mother momma please send for me
Gonna write a letter to my mother momma please send for me
Come down here in this old station  you don't know how they're
 treating  me
