Sometime Jailhouse Blues

Sometimes I lay down my wrath

As I lay my body down

Sometimes I lay down my wrath

As I lay my body down

Beneath the ache of breath and breath

Golden slumber in the bone

Thoughts of stone though sweet and sorrow

Run down from an uphill climb

Thoughts of stone though sweet or sorrow

Run down from an uphill climb

Money, money, work and worry

And the aimless toil of time

Sometimes I look up in light

And see the weary sun go west

Sometimes I look up in light

And see the weary sun go west

Sometimes I see the moon at night

Go hidden in her cloudy rest

Sometimes the tears of death will blind

All that was worldly wise or fair

Sometimes tears of death will blind

All that was worldly wise or fair

Then visit by the death of mind

My ghost will wander in the air

And gaze upon a ghostly face

Not knowing what was fair or lost

And gaze upon a ghostly face

Not knowing what was fair or lost

Remembering not what flesh lay waste

Or made him kind as ghost to ghost
