[Verse 1]
Went to bed last night and boy I was in my sleep
I went to bed last night and I was in my sleep
Woke up this mornin', the police was shakin' me

[Verse 2]
I went to the jailhouse, drunk and blue as I could be
I went to the jailhouse, drunk and blue as I could be
But that cruel old judge sent my man away from me

[Verse 3]
They carried me to the courthouse, Lordy, how I was cryin'
They carried me to the courthouse, Lordy, how I was cryin'
They jailed me sixty days in jail and money couldn't pay my fine

[Verse 4]
Sixty days ain't long if you can spend them as you choose
Sixty days ain't long if you can spend them as you choose
But this seems like jail than a cell where there ain't no booze

[Verse 6]
My life is all a misery when I cannot get my booze
My life is all a misery when I cannot get my booze
I spend every dime on liquor, got to have the booze
To go with these blues
