ONE TIME
I SPENT A WEEK INSIDE
A LITTLE COUNTRY JAIL
AND I DON'T GUESS
I'LL EVER LIVE IT DOWN

I WAS SITI'IN'

AT A RED LIGHT
WHEN THESE TWO MEN
CAME AND GOT ME
AND SAID
THAT I WAS SPEEDIN'
THROUGH THEIR TOWN

I THOUGHT I'D BE THERE
OVERNIGHT
SO I JUST CALLED
MY BOSS
TO TELL HIM I'D BE OFF
BUT NOT FOR LONG

WELL THEY
MOTIONED ME
INSIDE A CELL

WITH SEVEN OTHER GUYS
ONE LITI'LE BARRED UP
WINDOW
IN THE REAR

WELL I HAD TO PAY HIM
DOUBLE
'CAUSE HE WAS
THE MAN IN CHARGE
AND THE JAILEWS JOB
WAS NOT THE BEST
IN TOWN

LATER ON
HIS WIFE BROUGHT
HOT BOLOGNA
EGGS AND GRAW
THE FIRST DAY
I WAS THERE
I TURNED IT DOWN

WELL NEXT MORNIM
THEY JUST LET US SLEEP
BUT I WAS UP
REAL EARLY
WONDERIM
WHEN I'D GET
MY RELEASE

LATER 0N
WE GOT MORE
HOT BOLOGNA
EGGS AND GRAW
AND BY NOW
I WASN'T QUITE
SO HARD TO PLEASE

TWO DAYS LATER
WHEN I THOUGHT
THAT I HAD BEEN
FORGOTTEN
THE SHERIFF GAME IN
CHEINIM ON A STRAW

HE SAID
WHERE IS THE GUY
WHO THINKS
THAT THIS IS
INDIANAPOLIS
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO HIM
ABOUT THE LAW

WELL I TOLD HIM
INHO I WAS
AND TOLD HIM
I WAS WORKINI STEADY
AND I REALLY SHOULD BE
GE'I'I'INI ON MY WAY

THAT PART ABOUT ME
BEIN' WHO I WAS
DID NOT IMPRESS HIM
HE SAID THE JUDGE'LL
BE HERE ANY DAY

THE JAILER HAD A WIFE
AND LET ME TELL YOU
SHE WAS AWFUL
BUT SHE BROUGHT THAT
HOT BOLOGNA
EVERY DAY

AND AFTER SEVEN DAYS
SHE GOT TO LOOKIN'
SO MUCH BETTER
I ASKED HER
IF SHED LIKE
TO RUN AWAY

WELL NEXT MORNIN'
THAT OLD JUDGE
TOOK EVERY NICKEL
THAT I HAD
AND HE SAID SON
LET THIS TEACH YOU
NOT TO RACE

THE JAILER'S WIFE
WAS SMILIN'
FROM THE WINDOW
AS I LEFT
IN THIRTY MINUTES
I WAS OUT OF STATE

DO DO DO
DO DO DO DO DO DO DO
DO DO DO DO DO
DO DO DO DO DO DO DO
DO DO DO

DO DO DO DO DO DO
DO DO DO DO DO DO DO
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
