Lyrics

Early this morning
Lord, the blues came falling down
Well, it's early this morning
Lord, the blues came falling down
Well, I'm all locked up in jail
Lord, I'm prison bound
Well, it's all last night
I sit in my cell alone
Yes, all last night
I sit in my cell alone
I was thinking of my baby
Oh, and my happy home
Well, sometimes I wonder
Why in the world don't you write to me?
Sometimes I wonder
Why in the world don't you write to me?
Well, you know if I've been a bad fellow
Baby, I did not intend to be
Oh, baby, you'll never
Never see my smiling face again
Oh, baby, you'll never
May never see my smiling face again
But you can always remember
That old Brownie has been your friend
