Eleven Twenty-Nine Blues

歌詞

She ain't good‐looking, but the good gal do go clean She ain't good‐looking, but the good gal do go clean And I'm crazy about my baby, though she is so mean My gal got arrested, and they put her in the county jail My gal got arrested, and they put her in the county jail They fined her eleven twenty‐nine, and they even allowed her no bail Now I'm going to see that judge, and talk to him myself Now I'm going to see that judge, and talk to him myself Tell him that he sent my gal to the county road, and left me by myself Now I never felt so sorry, till the people walked down the lane Now I never felt so sorry, till the people walked down the lane And my heart struck sorrow, when they called my good gal's name And I heard the jailor say hello, prisoners all fall in line And I heard the jailor say hello, prisoners all fall in line I'm also talking about that long‐chain woman, that got eleven twenty‐nine I've got the blues so bad, that I just can't rest I've got the blues so bad, that I just can't rest I'm going to ask that jailor, can I do my good gal's time myself
