Joliet Bound
Police coming with his ball and chain
Police coming now with his ball and chain
And they accusing me of murder, never harmed a man
Well, some got six months, some got a solid year
Some got six months, some got a solid year
Now, me and my buddy got a lifetime here
Well, the lawyer he pleaded, clerk he wrote it down
Lawyer pleaded, clerk he wrote it down
If I has your sentence, must be Joliet bound
Well, you can cook my supper, let me go to bed
Cook my supper now, let me go to bed
I've been drinkin' white lightning, has gone to my head
You gone quit me, baby, it's the first thing I wanna do
Quit me, baby, it's the first thing that I gonna do
Some day you gonna want me and I won't want you
Well, police shoot the gun, pain all in my side
Police shoot the gun, pain all in my side
If you run from me, must be born to die
When they had my trial, you could not be found
When I had my trial, you could not be found
Now I'm done got all messed up and I'm Joliet bound
Police coming now with his ball and chain
And they accusing me of murder, never harmed a man
Well, some got six months, some got a solid year
Some got six months, some got a solid year
Now, me and my buddy got a lifetime here
Well, the lawyer he pleaded, clerk he wrote it down
Lawyer pleaded, clerk he wrote it down
If I has your sentence, must be Joliet bound
Well, you can cook my supper, let me go to bed
Cook my supper now, let me go to bed
I've been drinkin' white lightning, has gone to my head
You gone quit me, baby, it's the first thing I wanna do
Quit me, baby, it's the first thing that I gonna do
Some day you gonna want me and I won't want you
Well, police shoot the gun, pain all in my side
Police shoot the gun, pain all in my side
If you run from me, must be born to die
When they had my trial, you could not be found
When I had my trial, you could not be found
Now I'm done got all messed up and I'm Joliet bound
