[00:07.75]Getting tired of sleeping in this lowdown lonesome cell
[00:17.93]Lord I wouldn't have been here if it had not been for Nell
[00:26.15]Lay awake at night and just can't eat a bite
[00:36.29]Used to be my rider but she just won't treat me right
[00:46.80]Got a red-eyed captain and a squabbling boss
[00:57.58]Got a mad dog sergeant honey and he won't knock off
[01:06.65]I'm getting tired of sleeping in this lowdown lonesome cell
[01:17.62]Lord I wouldn't ve been here if it had not been for Nell
[01:27.35]I asked the government to knock some days off my time
[01:40.87]Well the way I'm treated I'm about to lose my mind
[01:52.80]I wrote to the governor please turn me a-loose
[02:00.54]Since I don't get no answer I know it ain't no use
[02:10.28]I'm getting tired of sleeping in this lowdown lonesome cell
[02:22.04]Lord I wouldn't have been here if it had not been for Nell
[02:33.71]I hate to turn over and find my rider gone
[02:44.11]Walking across my floor Lordy how I moan
[02:53.87]Lord I wouldn't have been here if it had not been for Nell
[03:03.94]I'm getting tired of sleeping in this lowdown lonesome cell
