When Can I Change My Clothes
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 lookin' 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 carry me out into 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 the convicts' 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 walkin' down the road
I can hardly walk for lookin' 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 cloths and throw them away
I wonder how long before I can change my clothes
I wonder how long 'fore I can change my clothes
