Roane County Prison - Bill Monroe[00:00:00]

Written by：Joe Ahr[00:00:00]

In the beautiful hills in the mists of Roane county[00:00:08]

There's where I have roamed for many long years[00:00:15]

There's where my heart's been tending most ever[00:00:24]

There's where the first step of misfortune I made[00:00:32]

It's about thirty years when I courted and married[00:00:38]

Armanda Gilbraith I'd soon call my wife[00:00:46]

My brother he stabbed me for some unknown reason[00:00:54]

Just three month's later I'd taken Tom's life[00:01:02]

I was captured and tried in the village of Kingston[00:01:09]

Not a man in that county would speak one kind word[00:01:17]

When the jury came in with the verdict next mornin'[00:01:25]

A lifetime in prison was the words that I heard[00:01:33]

When the train pulled out poor mother stood weepin'[00:01:39]

And sister she sat all alone with a sigh[00:01:48]

And the last words I heard was willy god bless you[00:01:56]

Was willy god bless you god bless you goodbye[00:02:04]

In the scorching hot sand of the foundry I'm workin'[00:02:10]

Toiling and working my poor life away[00:02:19]

They'll measure my grave on the banks of old Cumberland[00:02:27]

Just as soon as I finish the rest of my days[00:02:35]

Boys when you write home from this prison in Nashville[00:02:50]

Place one of my songs in your letter for me[00:02:58]
