I got the blues for my baby  she got the blues for I say 
me
But I can't see my baby  and she can't see me
I'm going to be condemned  early tomorrow I say morn
But I am not guilty  because I ain't done nobody wrong
My crime my crime  I really can't understand
They got me accused of murder  and I never harmed a man
Will you please come down  on my trial day
So when I be condemned  you can wipe my tears away
They ain't no need to cry  no need to weep and moan
Just try to get somebody  to go on my bond
It's going to be weeping  I begin to moan
Said I'm a poor boy here  I sure ain't got no home
The jury found me guilty  the judge say listen here
It ain't no fine for you  get ready for the electric 
chair
