[Verse 1] Went to bed last night, and folks, I was in my dream I went to bed last night and I was in my dream Woke up this mornin, the police were shakin me [Verse 2] I went to the jailhouse, drunk and blue as I could be I went to the jailhouse, drunk and blue as I could be But this cruel old judge sent my man away from me [Verse 3] They carried me to the courthouse, Lordy, how I was cryin They carried me to the courthouse, Lordy, how I was cryin They gave me sixty days in jail, and money couldnt pay my fine [Verse 4] Sixty days aint long when you can spend them as you choose Sixty days aint long when you can spend them as you choose But they seem like years in a cell where there aint no booze [Verse 5] My life is all a misery when I cannot get my booze My life is all a misery when I cannot get my booze I cant live without my liquor, gotta have the booze to cure these blues
