Tom Rushen Blues

Lyrics

It was late last night, hopin' I would have my peace It was late last night, hopin' I would have my peace Say, when I woke up, Tom Rushen was shakin' me When you get in trouble, ain't no use to scream and cry When you get in trouble, ain't no use to scream and cry Tom Rushen take you back to the jail house fly Oh boozy booze, help me to cure these blues Oh boozy booze, help me to kill these blues Every day seem like murder in a jailhouse where there ain't no boo' It was late last night, Halloway was gone to bed It was late last night, Halloway was gone to bed Tom Rushen took the whiskey out from under Halloway's head It was late last night, hopin' I would have my peace It was late last night, hopin' I would have my peace But when I woke up, Tom Rushen was shakin' me When you get in trouble, ain't no use to scream and cry When you get in trouble, ain't no use to scream and cry Tom Rushen sendin' you back to the jail house fly
