Dallas County Jail Blues Lyrics

I was at a booga-wooga Saturday night
I was kickin′ 'em high
I was at a booga-wooga Saturday night
I was kickin′ 'em high

In walked the law
And I woke up in High Five

High Five's the fifth floor in the county jail
High Five is the fifth floor in the Dallas County Jail, oh Lord
When you get in ol′ High Five
No one will go your bail

I looked at the walls, I could picture my baby there
I looked at the walls, I could picture my baby there, yes I could
I could hear those prisoners moanin′
High Five blues everywhere

I may go to the penitentiary
I may get the electric chair
I may go to the penitentiary
I may get the electric chair, hey hey
But I'll leave these prisoners moanin′
High Five blues everywhere
