Lyrics:

Never will forget that day when they had me in Parchman JailWould no one even come and go my bailI wonder how long before I can change my clothesI wonder how long 'fore I can change my clothesSo many days I would be sittin' downI would be sittin' down lookin' down on my clothesI wonder how long before I can change my clothesI wonder how long 'fore I can change my clothesSo many days when the day would be coldThey would carry me out into the rain and coldI wonder how long before I can change my clothesI wonder how long 'fore I can change my clothesSo many days when the day would be coldYou can stand and look at the convicts' toesI wonder how long before I can change my clothesI wonder how long 'fore I can change my clothesSo many days I would be walkin' down the roadI can hardly walk for lookin' down on my clothesI wonder how long before I can change my clothesI wonder how long 'fore I can change my clothesNever will forget that day when they taken my clothesTaken my citizen's cloths and throw them awayI wonder how long before I can change my clothesI wonder how long 'fore I can change my clothes
