Lonesome Jailhouse Blues by Glen Campbell Lyrics

Standin' in the jailhouse
A-wishin' I was free
I'd like to get out
But I ain't got a key-ey

I got them lonesome jailhouse blues

A-waitin' for a train that'll take me away
And I'll be gone for many a day
I got them lonesome jailhouse blues

A-standin' in the jailhouse lookin' at the street
And this jail floor is hurtin' my feet
I got them lonesome jailhouse blues

A-watchin' my friends as they go by
They'd get me out if-a they would try
I got them lonesome jailhouse blues

A-lookin' down that lonesome railroad line
I'm thinkin' of a girl that I left behind
I got them lonesome jailhouse blues
The jury said that I have to go
When they sit me here without a show
I got them lonesome jailhouse blues

So goodbye friends I'm a-leavin' today
The foreman train's gonna take me away
I got them lonesome jailhouse blues

The governor's spare don't worry me
It's the way I feel that makes me sing
I got them lonesome jailhouse blue-ues
