Booze and Blues

I went to bed last night and full of sorrow in my tears, yeah

I went to bed last night and I was in my tears

Woke up this morning, the police was shakin' me

I went to the jailhouse, dark and blue as I could be, yeah

I went to the jailhouse, dark and blue as I could be

But the cruel old judge sent my man away from me

They carried me to the courthouse, Lordy how I was tried

They carried me to the courthouse, Lordy how I was tried

They give me sixty days in jail, and money couldn't pay my fine

Sixty days ain't long when you can spend them as you choose, oh

Sixty days ain't long when you can spend them as you choose

But they seem like years in a cell where there ain't no food

My life is all a misery when I cannot get my booze, oh

My life is all a misery when I cannot get my booze

I can't live without my liquor, got

To have the booze to cure these blues
