Cryin' Shame

It's a pity

Baby, I declare that's a cryin' shame

Yes, it's a pity

I declare that's a cryin' shame

Yes, you know I killed my mama

'Cause she was lovin' another man

Tell mama, I want you to tell my lovely wife

Yes, tell mama, I want you to tell my lovely wife

Yes, I got a great loss, you know

That old judge tried to give me life

I got a burden, 'til I really can't hold it back

Yes, it's a burden, 'til I really can't hold it back

Yes, I'm goin' through the county jail

And I may get the legislature on

Lord have mercy
