Lonesome Prison Blues

By Rocky Steen-Rolfzen & Jeff Rolfzen

I hear that whistle blow

It’s coming on down the line

I don’t know when I’ll be back again

I left my home

Back when I was young

I left where nobody knows me at all

I never loved nobody

Never loved no one at all

Don’t want nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone

But I had my troubles

Had a couple laughs too

I got my friends scattered all around this land

Oh the police cut me down

Outside of Jericho

Judge said son no more you gonna roam

I got a paper and a pen

Couple of stamps too

I got no one for to send it to

I got that lonesome prison blues

That ain’t where I wanna be

Cuz I ain’t got nobody, nobody missing me

I hear that whistle blow

It’s coming on down the line

I don’t know when the next time I can ride
