Lyrics
Well now you all was standin’ ‘round the courthouse, Babe,
Lord knows when Judge Dabney give me my time
You was all standin’ ‘round the courthouse
When Judge Dabney give me my time
Well I begin to leave my baby cryin’
“Lord knows Mister George, you gave him, too long”.

Says, “Now that’s all right, Babe”,
Lord knows, I’ll make it over some old day (2)
Says, “Now some of these days soon, Babe, Babe, I’ll
Make it back home again”.
(Play awhile for me, man”) (“Lord have mercy now”)

Now fare you well, fare you well, Lord knows,
I’m on my last go-round (2)
Well, now, you know, if I can live this business down.
Babe, I won’t be harboured down in prison no more
