Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers — Jefferson Jericho Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Well, poor Tom Jefferson, he Loved the little maid out back
Midnight creepin'
Out to the servant shack
Kept a secret under the bed
Wrapped in a burlap sack
Well, I drove all day and night
Out to Jericho
But in my second mind, I Knew it was time to go Every time that bugle blows
Well, she ain’t no good for me But I just can’t let go If I sit here thinkin', my Thoughts will overflow
And I can’t keep from cryin', can’t keep
Time from movin' slow
Well, poor Tom Jefferson, he Loved the little maid out back
Midnight creepin'
