Jail Bird Love Song lyrics

When I was a rounder

I stopped in New Orleans

`Cause I`ve had long days away from home

I didn`t know nobody that I seen



I`s walkin` along the street one day

I didn`t mean no harm

The police is up and they seen me

And they began to make their laws



Ain`t it hard, ain`t it hard

Just lookin` through the bars?

The police looked an seen me

And they began to make their laws



They seen I was a stranger

They soon got on my trail

Soon they had me surrounded

And taked me to the city jail



Now, ain`t it hard, ain`t it hard

Just lookin` through the bars?

Soon they had me surrounded

And taked me to the city jail



When I got in jail, I

Didn`t know what to do

There was no one I knew

I could carry my troubles to



Now, ain`t it hard, ain`t it hard

Just lookin` through the bars?

There was no one I knew

I could carry my troubles to



I invited you write my dear old mother

It made her lonesome and blue

Tell you needn`t no worry

Mother`s comin` after you



Now ain`t it grand, ain`t it grand?

I don`t see how she can stand

She said, `Son, you needn`t t` worry

Mother`s comin` after you`.
