Songtexte Nobody Knows But Me - Jimmie Rodgers

Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues

Till you get within four walls

And the old jailerman turns that big black key

That's when your spirit falls

Then you drag yourself up to the bars

And while you gaze out at the stars

This is what you say

Why did I stray from the righteous path

Nobody knows but me

There on the outside you all can laugh

I don't need your sympathy

For after I've paid for the liquor I've sold

I'll leave this place worth my weight in gold

So why did I stray from the righteous path

Nobody knows but me

When you realize that you're all alone

Sittin' in a two-by-four

That little cell is just a taste of hell

If you ain't been there before

You're locked up tight but they treat you fair

You get everything that you need in there

That's just why you say

Why did I stray from the righteous path

Nobody knows but me

There on the outside you all can laugh

I don't need your sympathy

For after I've paid for the liquor I've sold

I'll leave this place worth my weight in gold

So why did I stray from the righteous path

Nobody knows but me
