Nobody Knows But Me — текст песни (Lefty Frizzel)

Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues till you get within four walls
The old jailer man turns the big black keys that`s when your spirit falls
Then you drag yourself up to the bars and while you gaze out at the stars
This is what you`ll say
Why did I stray from the righteous path nobody knows but me
There on the outside you often dare I don`t need your sympathy
For after I paid for the liquor I stole I`ll leave this place with no way and gold
Why did I stray from the righteous path nobody knows but me
[ ac.guitar ]

That little cell is just a taste of hell if you ain`t been there before
You`re locked up tight but they treat you fair
You gave everything that you need in there
That`s just why you`ll say
Why did I stray...
