Jefferson Jericho Blues Lyrics - Tom Petty

Well, poor Tom Jefferson, he 

Loved the little maid out back 

Midnight creepin' 

Out to the servant shack 

Kept a secret under the bed 

Wrapped in a burlap sack 

Well, I drove all day and night 

Out to Jericho 

But in my second mind, I 

Knew it was time to go 

Every time that bugle blows 

Well, she ain't no good for me 

But I just can't let go 

If I sit here thinkin', my 

Thoughts will overflow 

And I can't keep from cryin', can't keep 

Time from movin' slow 

Well, poor Tom Jefferson, he 

Loved the little maid out back 

Midnight creepin'
