Ed Bell My Crime Blues
I got the blues for my baby she got the blues for I say
me
But I can't see my baby and she can't see me
I'm going to be condemned early tomorrow I say morn
But I am not guilty because I ain't done nobody wrong
My crime my crime I really can't understand
They got me accused of murder and I never harmed a man
Will you please come down on my trial day
So when I be condemned you can wipe my tears away
They ain't no need to cry no need to weep and moan
Just try to get somebody to go on my bond
It's going to be weeping I begin to moan
Said I'm a poor boy here I sure ain't got no home
The jury found me guilty the judge say listen here
It ain't no fine for you get ready for the electric
chair
