When Can I Change My Clothes - Bukka White

作词：Bukka White

作曲：Bukka White

Never will forget that day

When they had me in Parchman Jail

Would no one even come and go my bail

I wonder how long

Before I can change my clothes

I wonder how long

'Fore I can change my clothes

So many days I would be sittin' down

I would be sittin' down looking down on my clothes

I wonder how long

Before I can change my clothes

I wonder how long

'Fore I can change my clothes

So many days when the day would be cold

They would car' me out in the rain and cold

I wonder how long

Before I can change my clothes

I wonder how long

'Fore I can change my clothes

So many days when the day would be cold

You can stand and look at these convict toes

I wonder how long

Before I can change my clothes

I wonder how long

'Fore I can change my clothes

So many days I would be

Walking down the road

I can hardly walk for looking down on my clothes

I wonder how long

Before I can change my clothes

I wonder how long

'Fore I can change my clothes

Never will forget that day

When they taken my clothes

Taken my citizen's clothes

And throwed them away

Wonder how long

Before I can change my clothes

I wonder how long

'Fore I can change my clothes
