Big House Bound Lyrics

I never will forget the day : they transferred me to the

county jail

I had shot the woman I love : ain't got no one to come go

my bail







Then I sent for my friend : please spare the rod

Then my friend sent me word : Lord the job was too

doggone hard





I got friend who's got money : please tell him come go my

bail

And my friend sent me word : had no business in the

county jail





Then I felt all right : till the judge turned around and

frowned

Well I'm sorry for you buddy : but you on your last

go‑round





I says mmm : ain't got nobody now



Well I got nobody : Lord come and go my bail

I says mmm : I mean come and go my bail
