Early one morning the blues came falling
'round
Early one morning the.blues came falling
down
All locked up in jail and prison bound
All.last night I sat in my cell alone
All last night ooooh I sat in my cell alone
Thinkin' of my baby and my happy home
Baby you will never see my smiling face again
Baby you will never see my smiling face.again
But always remember your daddy has been your friend
Sometimes I wonder why don't you write to
me
Sometimes I wonder why don't you write to
me
If I been a bad fellow I did not intend
to be
When I had my trial baby you could not be
found
When I had my trial baby oooh you could
not be found
So it's too late now mistreating momma I'm
prison bound
