Jimmy Dean Lyrics
"Fort Worth Jail"

(Dick Reinhardt)

(Way down in Fort Worth jailhouse feeling low, feeling low.)

Way down in Fort Worth jailhouse
Feeling kind of low
Nobody cares about me
'Cause I ain't got no dough.

Well, the No. 5 so black and shiny
Took me off to jail
My good gal said so long daddy
'Cause I can't go your bail.

They put me in that cell so dreary
Turned them lights down low
Fed me beans and hard cornbread
Said they'll never let me go.

All you ramblin' men take a warning
Don't go near that big cowtown
Never trust a stockyard babies
'Cause they'll always lets you down.

Dream all days I'm a gonna be a goin' down
That road so long
Looking for my blue eyed baby
Though I know she's done me wrong.

(Though I know she's done me wrong
Though I know she's done me wrong...)
