Scrapper Blackwell Penal Farm Blues
Early one morning : on my way to the penal farm
Baby all I've done : ain't done nothing wrong
Loaded in the *dog* wagon : and down the road we go
Oh baby : oh baby you don't know
Into the office : then to the bathhouse below
And with a light shower : baby we change our clothes
All last night : baby it seemed so long
All I've done : I ain't done nothing wrong
I'll tell you people : the penal farm is a lonesome place
And no one there : to smile up in your face
Oh baby baby : it won't be so long now
Before your daddy : he will be coming home
Oh baby baby : won't you come after me
My time is up : and penal farm has set me free
