I have to give you my number, 4-11-44 I'll be there forever, I ain't nowhere else to go, I have to go to the chain gang, Back to the murderers' home. I'd a-been in better shape, mama, if I'd let that reckless woman alone.
Blind Willie McTell, "Murderer's Home Blues," recorded for the Library of Congress, 5 November 1940.
