Cincinnati Jail Lyrics

It's cold as a well in Cincinnati jail I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody Shouldn't have drunk that wine it messed up my country mind But I didn't know that pretty gal wasn't free not free And someone called the law and I had a southern drawl The first one they locked up you're right was me Now it's cold as a well in Cincinnati jail I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody I heard a lot about that great mid western town So I thought I'd better go and look around look around Couldn't find me no job and my kind just don't rob But they don't want no southern bums around And it's cold as well in Cincinnati jail I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody Lord an Appalachian boy ain't never known much joy But I was better off in my Blueridge Mountain home sweet home I could see the light of day I could while the time away On the mornin' the government gave me to live on Oh it's cold as well in Cincinnati jail I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody
