Shelby County Workhouse Blues - Hambone Willie Newbern[00:00:01]

I left old Memphis Tennessee : on my way back to [dear[00:00:02]

Old[00:00:07]

I my baby : if this[00:00:11]

Says I phoned my *room* : I didn't have but one word to[00:00:20]

Say[00:00:34]

Cast my eyes to the Lord : say you please have mercy on[00:00:38]

Poor me[00:00:50]

Well I left old *Maltree* : [on my way back going back[00:00:55]

To Memphis Tennessee[00:01:02]

No sooner I got at the bus station Lord : police he[00:01:18]

Arrested me[00:01:30]

Lord the police arrest me : carried me before the judge[00:01:37]

Well the lawyers talk so fast : didn't have time to say[00:01:50]

Not nary word[00:01:54]

Well the lawyer pleaded: and the judge he done wrote it[00:01:58]

Down[00:02:00]

Says I'll give you ten days buddy : out in little old[00:02:00]

Shelby town[00:02:05]

And they stood me up : *tied me around the peg*[00:02:05]

Guard said to the trustee : said put the shackles *still*[00:02:12]

Around his leg[00:02:13]

Mmm : Lordy Lordy Lord[00:02:13]

Lord the guards done treat me : like I was a lowdown dog[00:02:15]
