Willie Jones - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]

Willie Jones was a man I met[00:00:10]

When I lived in Baltimore[00:00:12]

I was a guard[00:00:14]

And he was doing time[00:00:15]

In the three long years he stayed there[00:00:19]

I got to know him well[00:00:21]

Willie Jones was a friend of mine[00:00:24]

He used to say buddy you know[00:00:28]

Where I'm goin' when they let me out of here[00:00:30]

Alabama could be heaven if the Lord was there[00:00:34]

And he talked about the southland[00:00:39]

Though he'd drifted from its shore[00:00:41]

I never seen a man who loved it more[00:00:44]

He talked about the whippoorwills in the Alabama night[00:00:56]

Honeysuckle vine[00:01:01]

And sugar cane[00:01:03]

Swimming holes[00:01:06]

And fishing poles[00:01:07]

And early morning frost[00:01:08]

And sleeping under a tin roof when it rained[00:01:11]

He talked about a country road[00:01:16]

And a cabin in the pines[00:01:18]

And a girl with wavy long chestnut brown hair[00:01:20]

He talked about the beauty[00:01:26]

Of his Blue Ridge Mountain home[00:01:27]

And damn near made me think that I was there[00:01:30]

And he'd say buddy you know[00:01:34]

Where I'm goin' when they let me out of here[00:01:37]

Alabama could be heaven if the Lord was there[00:01:40]

When a man ain't got no freedom[00:01:45]

The time sure passes slow[00:01:48]

Willie Jones had ten long years to go[00:01:50]

It's been almost a years now[00:02:02]

Since that hot night in July[00:02:04]

Willie hit the guard[00:02:08]

And jumped the fence[00:02:09]

I had my rifle ready but I couldn't let it fly[00:02:12]

I shot over his head[00:02:17]

And we ain't seen him since[00:02:18]

Then last week the postman[00:02:22]

Brought a letter to my door[00:02:24]

Marked no return address and no reply[00:02:27]

It just said nobody north of Birmingham[00:02:31]

Is gonna see this boy again[00:02:34]

But if you're ever down our way[00:02:37]

Won't you please drop by[00:02:38]

Buddy you know where I'm going[00:02:42]

When they let me out of here[00:02:44]

Alabama could be heaven if the Lord was there[00:02:47]

And he talked about the southland[00:02:51]

Though he'd drifted from its shore[00:02:54]

I never seen a man who loved it more[00:02:56]
