Lyrics to Big House Bound

I never will forget the day : they transferred me to the
county jail
I had shot the woman I love : ain't got no one to come go
my bail

Then I sent for my friend : please spare the rod
Then my friend sent me word : Lord the job was too
doggone hard

I got friend who's got money : please tell him come go my
bail
And my friend sent me word : had no business in the
county jail

Then I felt all right : till the judge turned around and
frowned
Well I'm sorry for you buddy : but you on your last
go‑round

I says mmm : ain't got nobody now

Well I got nobody : Lord come and go my bail
I says mmm : I mean come and go my bail
