I ain't got long, oh mama
I ain't got long, I ain't got long
I ain't got long at the murderer's home
Pray for me, oh mama
Pray for me, you can pray for me
Lord, I got a long haul over, I can't go free
I ain't got long, I ain't got long
I ain't got long at the murderer's home
Pray for me, oh mama
Pray for me, you can pray for me
Lord, I got a long haul over, I can't go free

Testo da :
Negro Prison Blues And Songs
Weenie Campbell.com 2010
Recorded live at the Mississippi and Louisiana State Penitentiaries by Alan Lomax ( 1947/1948 )
Lomax wrote: “ This song rises out of the dawn or dusk of a long work day, before rhythmic labor has begun,when tools are being readied or after the day’s work is over…..
The expression “ murder’s home “ has triple strenght,meaning the home of murder – the home of murderes and the murderer’s home .” (Genius )
