A Week in a Country Jail (In the Style of Tom T. Hall) (Vocal Version) - Singer's Edge Karaoke (卡拉OK)[00:00:00]
Du [00:00:04]
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[00:00:21]
When these two men came and got me[00:00:23]
And said that i was speeding through their town[00:00:26]
Well they said tomorrow morning[00:00:30]
You can see the judge then go[00:00:32]
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[00:00:39]
To tell him i'd be off but not for long[00:00:43]
Well they motioned me inside a cell[00:00:47]
With seven other guys[00:00:49]
One little barred up window in the rear[00:00:52]
My cellmates said if they had let me bring some money in[00:00:56]
We ought to send the jailer for some beer[00:01:00]
Well i had to pay him double[00:01:05]
Cause he was the man in charge[00:01:06]
And the jailer's job was not the best in town[00:01:09]
Later on his wife brought hot bologna eggs and gravy[00:01:13]
The first day i was there i turned it down[00:01:18]
Well next morning they just let us sleep[00:01:22]
But i was up real early[00:01:24]
Wonderin when i'd get my release[00:01:26]
Later on we got more hot bologna eggs and gravy[00:01:31]
And by now i wasn't quite so hard to please[00:01:35]
Two days later when i thought that i had been forgotten[00:01:39]
The sheriff came in chewin on a straw[00:01:43]
He said where is the guy who thinks[00:01:48]
That this is indianapolis[00:01:50]
I'd like to talk to him about the law[00:01:52]
Well i told him who i was and told him[00:01:56]
I was working steady[00:01:59]
And i really should be gettin on my way[00:02:01]
That part about me bein who i was did not impress him[00:02:05]
He said the judge'll be here any day[00:02:09]
The jailer had a wife and let me tell you she was awful[00:02:14]
But she brought that hot bologna every day[00:02:18]
And after seven days she got to lookin so much better[00:02:22]
I asked her if she'd like to run away[00:02:27]
The next mornin that old judge[00:02:31]
Took every nickel that i had[00:02:33]
And he said son let this teach you not to race[00:02:35]
The jailer's wife was smilin from the window as i left[00:02:40]
In thirty minutes i was out of state[00:02:44]
