I'm In Jail Again
Mississippi Fred McDowell

Open D

Slow walking pace

Well, bring me my food an' chow, wow, wow, wow, I'm in jail again.
I said bring me my food an' chow, wow, wow, wow, I'm in jail again.
And I'm gonna be here, baby, goin' till my sentence ends.

Now won't somebody tell me, wow, wow, what I'm supposed ta' do.
Well, won't somebody tell me, wow, wow, what I'm supposed ta' do.
Lord, you know I wouldn't be here, Lord, you know if it weren't for you.

I'm beggin', Lord, please have mercy, wow, wow, wow, on my wicked soul.
I'm beggin', Lord, please have mercy, wow, wow, wow, on my wicked soul.
Lord, I would not beseech you, Lord, for all your weight in gold, weight in gold, your weight in gold.

Slide guitar interlude.

Well bring me my food an' juice, wow, wow, wow, I'm in jail again.
Wow, bring me my food an' juice, wow, wow, wow, I'm in jail again.
And I wouldn't be here, baby, Lord, until my sentence ends, my sentence ends.
