Parchment Farm Blues

(album: Something Else - 1965)

Sitting down here on a Parchment Farm, uh huh
Sitting down here on a Parchment Farm, uh huh
Sitting down here on a Parchment Farm
I ain't never done nobody no harm

Bet your life I'm going to jail, uh huh
Bet your life I'm going to jail, uh huh
You can bet your life I'm going to jail
Judge bought a Cadillac with my bail

Loading that cotton in a hundred pound sack, uh huh
Loading that cotton in a hundred pound sack, uh huh
Loading that cotton in a hundred pound sack
Got a twelve gauge shot gun at my back

I be in jail for the rest of my life, uh huh
I be in jail for the rest of my life, uh huh
You know that I be in jail for the rest of my life
All I ever did was to shot my wife, uh huh

Sitting down here on a Parchment Farm, uh huh
Uh huh. I ain't never done nobody no harm
Uh huh. Uh huh. Bet your life I'm going to jail
Uh huh. Uh huh. Sitting down here on a Parchment Farm
