Tom T. Hall - Week In A Country Jail слова песни
Too doop too too doo tooOne time I spent a week inside a little country jailAnd I don`t guess I`ll ever live it downI was sittin` at red light when these two men came and got meAnd said that I was speedin` through their townWell they said tomorrow morning you can see the judge then goThey let me call one person on the phoneI thought I`d be there over night so I just called my bossTo tell him I`d be off but not for longThey motioned me inside a cell with seven other guysOne little barred-up window in the rearMy cellmate said if they had let me bring some money inWe ought to send the jailer for some beerWell I had to pay him double cause he was the man in chargeAnd the jailer`s job was not the best in townLater on his wife brought hot bologna eggs and gravyThe first day I was there I turned it downNext morning they just let us sleep but I was up real earlyWondering when I get my releaseLater on we got more hot bologna eggs and gravyAnd by now I wasn`t quite so hard to pleaseTwo days later when I thought that I had been forgottenThe sheriff came in chewing on a strawHe said where is the guy who thinks that this is IndianapolisI`d like to talk to him about the lawWell I told him who I was and told him I was working steadyAnd I really should be gettin` on my wayThat part about me being who I was did not impress himHe said the judge will be here any dayThe jailer had a wife and let me tell you she was awfulBut she brought that hot bologna every dayAnd after seven days she got to looking so much betterI asked her if she`d like to run awayThe next morning that old judge took every nickel that I haveAnd he said son let this teach you not to raceThe jailer`s wife was smiling from the window as I leftIn thirty minutes I was out of stateToo doo too too doo hoo
