Bobby Bare Cincinnati Jail Lyrics

Cincinnati Jail Lyrics

It's cold as a well in Cincinnati jail I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody

Shouldn't have drunk that wine it messed up my country mind

But I didn't know that pretty gal wasn't free not free

And someone called the law and I had a southern drawl

The first one they locked up you're right was me

Now it's cold as a well in Cincinnati jail I ain't got nobody I ain't got
nobody

I heard a lot about that great mid western town

So I thought I'd better go and look around look around

Couldn't find me no job and my kind just don't rob

But they don't want no southern bums around

And it's cold as well in Cincinnati jail I ain't got nobody I ain't got
nobody

Lord an Appalachian boy ain't never known much joy

But I was better off in my Blueridge Mountain home sweet home

I could see the light of day I could while the time away

On the mornin' the government gave me to live on

Oh it's cold as well in Cincinnati jail I ain't got nobody I ain't got
nobody
