Washington Jail (1961) |
I love little Willie, little Willie’s my dear |
If you’d a think I don’t love her |
You got a foolish idea |
Sittin' in the jail house |
My back ‘gainst the wall |
Old corn liquor was the cause of it all |
The judge said ‘stand up, George' |
Dry all your tears |
You’re sentenced to Raleigh for 22 years |
22 years Willie, 22 years |
I’m sentenced to Raleigh for 22 years |
Write me a letter, back it by mail |
Post it in care of the Washington Jail |
The train has come up and now it is gone |
Taking you away, Lord, just leaving this song |
