I was gonna see the doctor
The witch doctor of my what
I was gonna have to clock her
No ifs or ands or buts
But don't you try to knock her
Before I get my cut
I got the Jackson Prison Blues
the Jackson prison blues
that aint news
I'm frozen here in Jackson
Jackson Prison Blues
Jackson Prison Blues
spur on the twos
Jackson Prison Blues
The Judge made a decision
I'm gonna have to do the time
I thought I was on a mission
But it turned out to be a crime
Who da thought nuclear fission
Didn't mean it was superfine
The jailhouse come to take me
Won't let me put on my shoes
Don't wanna barefoot but they make me
They say this aint no pleasure cruise
I say you're gonna have to fake me
Into the Jackson Prison Blues
I got the Jackson Prison Blues
the Jackson prison blues
that aint news
I'm frozen here in Jackson
Jackson Prison Blues
Jackson Prison Blues
spur on the twos
Jackson Prison Blues
