Blind Arthur Blake - Rope Stretchin' Blues (Part 1) Тексты

I caught a stranger in my house: And I busted his head
With a club
I lay him out cold: With his heels in a tub

I seen the sheriff coming: And I jumped for the door
But I jumped too late: The sheriff had done jumped
Before

They buried a man thursday: Just two short days you see
And it makes me wonder: What they going to do to me

I killed a man: And that's the how and how
I'm sitting here wondering: If a woman's worth it now

Mmm: Rope stretching all day long
In just a few more days: I won't be able to sing my song
