Dave Fredrickson - Big City Jail lyrics

They got me in the corner of Fifth Street and Main Take me to the big jail they bound me in chains Down come the jailer, 'round 10 o'clock With that big bunch of keys and he opened that lock Now the judge found me guilty, said I had to pay Now for ten long years behind bars I stay They put me on board of' that train Cannonball And when it pulled out I waved to them all I've traveled this country 100 times or more And now for 10 long years I'll travel no more If I'd a listened to mother I wouldn't be here today But when you do a crime you sure have to pay
