Prison Blues Come Down On Me Lyrics - Singles - Lightnin' Hopkins

(begin spoken dialogue) 

Lightnin: I'm wonderin if my folks are gonna be there when I make it there. 

I'm just wonderin if they in the same ole spot. 

Friend: I don't know Lightnin, but as bad as you playin that guitar now, 

they got to be there. But you playin it pretty lonesome there though. 

Some might be in Heavan, I can't never tell. 

Lightnin: No, you know I'm just gettin back. I been in State Prison. 

Friend: How was it down there? 

Lightnin: It was hard on me. And it was a shame on everybody else. 

Friend: Yes, now you can hear, about how they would ring them big bells. 

Lightnin: Yeah. 

Friend: And every mornin about the break of day, 

you can hear how, how, howlin goin on everyday. 

Lightnin: Well, I got over it so I'm glad. But mama's what I'm thinkin about. 

I wonder if she's in the same old spot? 

Friend: Yes, I'm quite sure she's there, but I know she's got a worried mind. 

Cause she's got to be worried over her child. 

(end spoken dialogue) 

Mmmmmmmmmm, the blues come down on me. 

Friend: Lord, have mercy, child. 

Po' Lightnin can't hardly keep from cryin. 

Friend: Yes, the blues'll make you cry, I know how you feel. 

Whoo, Lord have mercy, 

Po' Lightnin can't hardly keep from cryin. 

Well, I'm just wonderin will I ever make it back, 

To that old native home of mine? 

Friend: Please, take me with ya when you go, Lightnin. Lord Have mercy.
