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

One time I spent a week inside a little country jail[00:00:13]

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

I was sittin' at a red light when these two men came and got me[00:00:21]

And said that I was speeding through their town[00:00:25]

Well, they said,"Tomorrow morning you can see the judge then go"[00:00:30]

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

I thought I'd be there overnight so I just called my boss[00:00:38]

To tell him I'd be off but not for long[00:00:43]

Well, they motioned me inside a cell with seven other guys[00:00:47]

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

My cellmates said if they had let me bring some money in[00:00:55]

We ought to send the jailer for some beer[00:01:00]

Well, I had to pay him double 'cause he was the man in charge[00:01:04]

And the jailer's job was not the best in town[00:01:08]

Later on his wife brought hot bologna, eggs and gravy[00:01:13]

The first day I was there I turned it down[00:01:17]

Well, next morning they just let us sleep but I was up real early[00:01:21]

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

Later on we got more hot bologna, eggs and gravy[00:01:30]

And by now I wasn't quite so hard to please[00:01:34]

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

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

He said, "Where is the guy who thinks that this is Indianapolis?[00:01:46]

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

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

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

That part about me bein' who I was did not impress him[00:02:03]

He said, "The judge'll be here any day"[00:02:08]

The jailer had a wife and let me tell you she was awful[00:02:12]

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

And after seven days she got to lookin' so much better[00:02:20]

I asked her if she'd like to run away[00:02:25]

The next mornin' that old judge took every nickel that I had[00:02:29]

And he said, "Son, let this teach you not to race"[00:02:33]

The jailer's wife was smilin' from the window as I left[00:02:38]

In thirty minutes I was out of state[00:02:42]
