Joliet Bound

Now the police comin'
With his ball and chain
Mmm-mmm
Police comin'
With his ball and chain
And they accusing me of murder
Never harmed a man

Now some got six months
Some got a solid year
Mmmm mmmm
Some got six months
Some got one solid year
Now me and my buddy
Got a lifetime here

Now the judge he pleaded
Clerk, he wrote it down
Mmmm mmmm
Judge he pleaded
Clerk, he wrote it down
That if I miss jail sentence now
Must be Joliet Bound

Now cook my supper
Let me go to bed
Mmmm mmmm
Cook my supper now
Let me go to bed
I've been drinking white lightnin'
And it's gone to my head

Now quit me baby
Do anything you want to do
Mmmm mmmm
Quit me baby
Do anything you want to do
Some day you gonna want me
Cinch and I won't want you

Now the police shoved his old
Pistol in my side
Mmmm mmmm
Police shoved his old
Pistol in my side
Said, if you run big boy, now
Must be born to die

When they had my trial
You could not be found
Mmmm mmmm
Had my trial
You could not be found
Now that I got all messed up
And I'm Joliet Bound
