I lay down last night : hoping I would have my peace
But when I woke up : Tom Rushen was shaking me
When you get in trouble : there's no use of screaming and crying
Tom Rushen will take you : back to the prison house flying
It was late one night : Holloway was gone to bed
Mr Day brought the whiskey : taken from under Holloway's head
It take boozy booze : Lord to cure these blues
But each day seem like years in the jailhouse : where there is no booze
I got up this morning : Tom Day was standing around
If he lose his office now : he's running from town to town
[Let me, I'm going to] tell you folksies : just how he treated me
Ah he brought me here : and I was drunk as I could be
