Joliet Blues - Johnny Shines

When they sent me to prison

My baby sat down and cried

When they sent me to prison

My baby sat down and cried

She said daddy you know that I love you

But you keep me dissatisfied

I said if I didn’t love you baby

I would not have done my crime

I said if I didn’t love you baby

I would not have done my crime

Well now you know I’m awful sorry

For to leave you behind

She was a smoother woman

Just as sweet as she could be

She was a smoother woman

Just as sweet as she could be

Well she waited and told me to lie

Before she turned her back on me
