A Week In A Country Jail - Tom T. Hall[00:00:01]

Written by：Tom T. Hall[00:00:06]

One time I spent a week inside[00:00:12]

A little country jail[00:00:15]

And I don't guess I'll ever live it down[00:00:17]

I was sittin' at a red light when these[00:00:21]

Two men came and got me[00:00:23]

And said that[00:00:25]

I was speeding through their town[00:00:26]

Well they said tomorrow morning[00:00:29]

You can see the judge then go[00:00:31]

They let me call one person on the phone[00:00:34]

I thought I'd be there overnight[00:00:38]

So I just called my boss[00:00:40]

To tell him I'd be off but not for long[00:00:42]

Well they motioned me inside[00:00:46]

A cell with seven other guys[00:00:48]

One little barred up window in the rear[00:00:51]

My cellmates said if they had[00:00:55]

Let me bring some money in[00:00:57]

We ought to send the jailer for some beer[00:00:59]

Well I had to pay him double cause[00:01:03]

He was the man in charge[00:01:06]

And the jailers job was not the best in town[00:01:08]

Later on his wife brought hot bologna[00:01:12]

Eggs and gravy[00:01:14]

The first day I was there I turned it down[00:01:16]

Well next morning they just let us sleep[00:01:21]

But I was up real early[00:01:23]

Wonderin' when I'd get my release[00:01:25]

Later on we got more hot bologna[00:01:29]

Eggs and gravy[00:01:32]

And by now I wasn't quite so hard to please[00:01:33]

Two days later when I thought that[00:01:38]

I had been forgotten[00:01:40]

The sheriff came in chewin on a straw[00:01:42]

He said where is the guy who thinks[00:01:46]

That this is indianapolis[00:01:48]

I'd like to talk to him about the law[00:01:50]

Well I told him who I was and told him[00:01:55]

I was working steady[00:01:57]

And I really should be gettin' on my way[00:01:59]

That part about me bein' who[00:02:03]

I was did not impress him[00:02:05]

He said the judgell be here any day[00:02:08]

The jailer had a wife and let me[00:02:12]

Tell you she was awful[00:02:14]

But she brought that hot bologna every day[00:02:16]

And after seven days she got to[00:02:20]

Lookin' so much better[00:02:23]

I asked her if she'd like to run away[00:02:24]

The next mornin' that old judge[00:02:29]

Took every nickel that I had[00:02:30]

And he said son[00:02:33]

Let this teach you not to race[00:02:34]

The jailers wife was smilin'[00:02:37]

From the window as I left[00:02:39]

In thirty minutes I was out of state[00:02:41]
