Bessie Tucker - Penitentiary lyrics

Aah ha ha, what's the matter with my man today Aah ha ha, what's the matter with my man today I ask him if he love me, Lord and he walked away Penitentiary penitentiary, oh is going to be my home Penitentiary penitentiary, oh is going to be my home Because my man he mistreated me, Lord he have done me wrong The man that I'm a-loving, Lord he going get me k**ed The man that I'm a-loving, Lord he going get me k**ed Because love is a proposition, that's got many a poor girl k**ed I'll love you a minute, oh but you won't behave I'll love you a minute, oh but you won't behave You going to keep on a-palling, you going to wake up in your grave
