A Week In A Country Jail

In the style of

Tom T. Hall

Lyrics

doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo
ooh ooh ooh

one time i spent
a week inside
a little country jail
and i don't guess
i'll ever live it down

i was sittin'
at a red light
when these two men
came and got me
and said
that i was speedin'
through their town

well they said
tomorrow mornin'
you can
see the judge then go
they let me call
one person
on the phone

i thought i'd
be there overnight
so i just
called my boss
to tell him i'd be off
but not for long

well they
motioned me
inside a cell
with seven
other guys
one little barred up
window in the rear

my cell mate said
if they had let me
bring some money in
we all would send
the jailer
for some beer

well i had to pay him
double 'cause
he was
the man in charge
and the jailer's job
was not
the best in town

later on his wife
brought hot bologna
eggs and gravy
the first day
i was there
i turned it down

well next mornin'
they just let us sleep
but i was up
real early
wonderin' when i'd get
my release

later on we got more
hot bologna
eggs and gravy
and by now
i wasn't quite
so hard to please

two days later
when i had thought
that i had
been forgotten
the sheriff came in
chewin' on a straw

he said
where is the guy
who thinks
that this
is indianapolis
i'd like to talk to him
about the law

well i told him
who i was
and told him
i was workin' steady
and i really should be
gettin' on my way

that part about me
bein' who i was
did not impress him
he said the judge'll
be here any day

the jailer had a wife
and let me tell you
she was awful
but she brought that
hot bologna
every day

and after seven days
she got to lookin'
so much better
i asked her
if she'd like
to run away

well next mornin'
that old judge
took every nickel
that i had
and he said son
let this teach you
not to race

the jailer's wife
was smilin' from
the window as i left
in thirty minutes
i was out of state

a-doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo

doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo
doo doo doo doo
mm mm mm
