Old Richmond Prison |
| Deep in the hills, way down in virginia |
| Was where I lived for 23 years |
| While driving one day, just ridin for pleasure |
| Just ridin for pleasure, I’d had a few beers |
| I shot the sheriff of Buckinham county |
| They threw me in jail without any bail |
| They tried me, in Buckinham county |
| For a crime that was done on the Dickenson side |
| The jury came in, with a verdict on monday |
| They said I was guilty and had to do time |
| Eighteen years, in Old Richmond Prison |
| Eighteen years, seems like 49 |
| My thoughts go back, to my home in the mountains |
| To Buckinham County, near the Dickenson line |
| To Buckinham County, near the Dickenson line |
