Alvin Youngblood Hart - Tom Rushen Blues lyrics

[Alvin Youngblood Hart - Tom Rushen Blues lyrics]

It was late last night
Hopin' I would have my peace
It was late last night
 hopin' I would have my peace
Say, when I woke up
 Tom Rushen was shakin' me

When you get in trouble
Ain't no use to scream and cry
When you get in trouble
Ain't no use to scream and cry
Tom Rushen take you back to
The jail house fly

Oh boozy booze, help me to cure these blues
Oh boozy booze, help me to kill these blues
Every day seem like murder in a
Jailhouse where there ain't no boo'
It was late last night
Halloway was gone to bed
It was late last night
Halloway was gone to bed
Tom Rushen took the whiskey out
From under Halloway's head

It was late last night
Hopin' I would have my peace
It was late last night
Hopin' I would have my peace
But when I woke up, Tom Rushen was shakin' me

When you get in trouble
Ain't no use to scream and cry
When you get in trouble
Ain't no use to scream and cry
Tom Rushen sendin' you back to
The jail house fly
