Big House Blues

I'm on my way to the big house
And I don't even care
I'm on my way to the big house
And I don't even care
I'm making lifetime
And I'll make it to electric chair

I wouldn't mind going to the big house
But I've got to stay there so long
I wouldn't mind going to the big house
But I've got to stay there so long
They got me excused for murder
When I ain't done nothing wrong

I ain't got no money
and a job is hard to find
Well, I ain't got no money
And a job is hard to find
I've been out of luck so long
I ain't got one lousy woman

Lord, I once had a woman
And she did not mean me no good
Lord, I once had a woman
And woman did not mean no good
She gave me so much trouble
I had to move from the neighborhood

Now here's all I've got to say
In the big house I soon will be
Here's all I've got to say
In the big house I soon will be
After these hard times' over
Someone please come and get poor me
