Текст (слова) песни: Tom T. Hall - A Week in a Country Jail



One time I spent a week inside a little country jail

And I dont guess Ill ever live it down

I was sittin at a red light when these two men came and got me

And said that I was speeding through their town

Well, they said,"tomorrow morning you can see the judge then go."

They let me call one person on the phone

I thought Id be there overnight so I just called my boss

To tell him Id 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 cellmates said if they had let me bring some money in

We ought to send the jailer for some beer

Well, I had to pay him double cause he was the man in charge

And the jailers 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 morning they just let us sleep but I was up real early

Wonderin when Id get my release

Later on we got more hot bologna, eggs and gravy

And by now I wasnt quite so hard to please

Two days later when I 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?

Id like to talk to him about the law."

Well, I told him who I was and told him I was working 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 judgell 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 shed like to run away

The next mornin that old judge took every nickel that I had

And he said, "son, let this teach you not to race."

The jailers wife was smilin from the window as I left

In thirty minutes I was out of state
