Big City Jail Lyrics

They got me in the corner of Fifth Street and Main
Take me to the big jail they bound me in chains
Down come the jailer, 'round 10 o'clock
With that big bunch of keys and he opened that lock

Now the judge found me guilty, said I had to pay
Now for ten long years behind bars I stay
They put me on board of' that train Cannonball And when it pulled out I waved to them all

I've traveled this country 100 times or more
And now for 10 long years I'll travel no more
If I'd a listened to mother I wouldn't be here today
But when you do a crime you sure have to pay
