Blind Blake - Doing A Stretch lyrics

I had a fall, five to twenty-one When I get back we gonna have some fun Up the river, daddy gonna do a stretch Baby, baby tell me the true facts Will you be waiting when I get back? Up the river, daddy gonna do a stretch I told the warden you'd pay my fine It didn't seem that he paid me no mind Up the river, daddy gonna do a stretch The good things you have done I can't forget If you quit me, baby, it'll be my d**h Up the river, daddy gonna do a stretch I love you, baby, whole heart and soul Stand by me 'til I get my parole Up the river, daddy gonna do a stretch Be careful, baby, while I'm gone You can't be good, I'll be gone too long Up the river, daddy gonna do a stretch Goin' away, honey, I'll be out all day If I know, sinner me Up the river, daddy do a stretch Baby, baby tell me the true facts You be waiting when I get back? Up the river, daddy's gonna do a stretch
