[00:00.78] Lyrics by:Musselwhite/C.
[00:01.34] Composed by:Musselwhite/C.
[00:10.36] We were talking about nothing we were shooting the breeze
[00:14.19] When here come the Chicago police
[00:18.09] They didn't like me living this side of town
[00:21.92] I was getting' the feeling I was jailhouse bound
[00:26.03] Well the cop he asked me
[00:27.65] Boy what do you mean
[00:29.77] Got your feet on this bench supposed to keep it clean
[00:33.68] You should have minded your business should have stayed at home
[00:37.38] 'Stead you're on the street where you don't belong
[00:41.77] Sometimes there's no justice and sometimes there's no truth
[00:49.64] Thirty days in Cook County that's the Cook County Blues
[01:02.99] Sprayed down with a hose couldn't make one phone call
[01:06.85] But before the judge I stood long and tall
[01:10.62] But the cop he lied told the judge a tale
[01:14.28] That the judge believed couldn't pay my bail
[01:18.62] Sometimes there's no justice and sometimes there's no truth
[01:26.28] Thirty days in Cook County that's the Cook County Blues
[02:08.45] Well now that's Chicago what can I say
[02:12.36] Any time they want to they can take you away
[02:16.26] You won't get no phone call you can't get no bail
[02:20.03] They'll make up a reason to put you back in jail
[02:24.33] Sometimes there's no justice and sometimes there's no truth
[02:32.13] Thirty days in Cook County that's the Cook County Blues
[02:39.80] Sometimes there's no justice and sometimes there's no truth
[02:47.49] Thirty days in Cook County that's the Cook County Blues
[02:57.31] Hey Turnkey when do I get my phone call man
[03:02.60] He Turnkey Turnkey
[03:06.22] And I know you hear me Turnkey
[03:10.83] Well if I can't make a phone call
[03:12.72] Bring me another bologna sandwich on that stale bread
[03:17.58] Hey Turnkey come on man I don't need thirty days in here
[03:22.43] Turnkey
