Doing A Stretch by Blind Blake Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had a fall five to twenty‑one
When I get back we going to have some fun
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch

[Verse 2]
Baby baby tell me the true facts
Will you be waiting when I get back
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch

[Verse 3]
I told the warden you pay my fine
It didn't seem that he paid me no mind
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch

[Verse 4]
The good things you have done I can't forget
If you quit me baby it will be my death
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch

[Verse 5]
I love you baby whole heart and soul
Stand by me until I get my parole
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch
[Verse 6]
Be careful baby while I'm gone
You can't be good I'll be gone too long
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch

[Verse 7]
Going away and how happy I will be
I know still love me
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch
