(no intro)Verse 1
Standin’ in the jailhouse
A wishin’ I was free (laugh)
I’d like to get out
(no chord)
But I ain’t got a key
I got them lonesome jail house blues
Verse 2
A waitin’ for a train that’ll take me away
And I’ll be gone for many a day
I got them lonesome jail house blues
Verse 3
A standin’ in the jail house lookin’ at the street
This jail floor is hurtin’ my feet
I got them lonesome jailhouse blues
Verse 4
A watchin’ my friends as they go by
They’d get me out if a they would try
I got them lonesome jailhouse blues

Verse 5
A lookin’ down a lonesome railroad line
Thinkin’ of a girl that I left behind
I got them lonesome jail house blues
The jury said I’d a have to go
When they sent me here without a show
I got them lonesome jail house blues
Outro
So goodbye friends I’m a leavin’ today
The Pullman’s trains gonna take me away
I got them lonesome jail house blues
The govenors fare don’t worry me
It’s the way I feel that a makes me sing
I got them lonesome jail house blues
