Penal Farm Blues - Scrapper Blackwell

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
