Judge Boushay Blues by Furry Lewis Lyrics

Good mornin' judge, what may be my fine?
Good mornin' judge, what may be my fine?
Good mornin' judge, what may be my fine?
Fifty dollars eleven twenty-nine

They arrest me for murder and I ain't never harmed a man
Arrest me for murder and I ain't never harmed a man
Arrest me for forgery and I can't even sign my name

Arrest me for murder and I ain't hurt a man
Arrest me for murder and I ain't harmed a man
Arrest Furry for forgery and he can't even sign his name

Some got six months, some got a solid year
Some got six months, some got a solid year
But me and my partner, we got lifetime here

If I just had-a known, goin' to get so long
If I just had-a known, I was goin' to get so long
Boy if I had-a known, I was goin' to get so long
Some Western country would have been my home
Western country would have been my home
Western country would have been my home

I know my baby, she don't know I'm here
I know my baby, she don't know I'm here
Boy that baby, she don't know I'm here
If she do, she sure don't feel my care
