Prison Blues

                                           Frank Delaney

 

One of the first blues I wrote in the 70's - written for a blues harp accompianment. I've never been in prison, but I did spend the last year of my military service on isolated duty on Adak, Alaska, so I know how it is to miss civilization and be completely confined.

 

Key of E

 

Goin' home babe, been in prison way too long, (2X)

just be waitin' at the station,

don't you know I wanna sing my song.

 

 

Want good whiskey baby, lots of things I want to do, (2X)

gonna hang my hat on your bedpost,

gonna spend some time with you.

 

 

Call my friends, babe, everybody know the news, (2X)

gonna have a party at my house,

ain't gonna have these prison blues.
