Текст песни: High Sheriff Blues + перевод

Get in trouble at Belzoni

There ain’t no use a screamin' and cryin'

Get in trouble in Belzoni

There ain’t no use a screamin' and cryin'

Mr. Will will take you back

To Belzoni jail house flyin'

Le' me tell you folksies

How he treated me

Le' me tell you folksies

How he treated me

An' he put me in a cellar

Just as dark as it could be

There I laid one evenin'

Mr. Purvis was standin' 'round

There I laid one evenin'

Mr. Purvis was standin' 'round

Mr. Purvis told Mr. Will

To let poor Charley down

It takes booze and blues, Lord

To carry me through

Takes booze and blues, Lord

To carry me through

But it did seem like years

In a jail house where there is no boo'

I got up one mornin'

Feelin' awe, hmm

I got up one mornin'

Feelin' mighty bad, hmm

An' it might not a been

Them Belzoni jail I had

(Blues I had, boys)

While I was in trouble

Ain’t no use a screamin'

When I was in prison

It ain’t no use a screamin and cryin'

Mr. Purvis the onliest man

Could ease that pain of mine
