Penitentiary Blues (Big Brazos)

[Verse 1]
Oh, big Brazos here I come
Oh, big Brazos here I come
Well it's hard doin' time for another man
When there ain't a thing poor lad had done
Well
Oughta been a Brazos, 1910
But Russel drove pretty women like he drove ugly men
Oh, big Brazos here I come
Oh, big Brazos here I come
Well it's hard doin' time for another man
When there ain't a thing poor lad had done

[Verse 2]
Well my mama called me
I answered "Ma'am"
She said "Son you're tired of working?"
I said "Yes I am"
Papa called me
I answered "Sir"
He said "If you're tired of working why don't ya?"
Oh, big Brazos here I come
Oh, big Brazos here I come
Well it's hard doin' time for another man
When there ain't a thing poor lad had done
