Well, Judge looked down gave me fourty days |
|
instead of the fine that I could not pay |
|
said walk right you'll soon be home |
|
cross the line and you're on your own |
|
Fourty Days of shotguns and barbed wire fences |
|
Fourty Nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis |
|
Well now, whistle blows when the sun comes up |
|
head to floor keep your big mouth shut |
|
eat your breakfast on the ground |
|
work like hell till the sun goes down |
|
Fourty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences |
|
Fourty nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis |
|
Well now, 10 for the jury 10 for the judge |
|
20 more to forget my grudge |
|
when I get to 39 |
|
thats the longest day in a prisoner's mind |
|
Fourty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences |
|
Fourty nights to sit an listen to the midnight train to Memphis |
|
midnight train to Memphis |
|
midnight train to Memphis |
|
on the midnight train to Memphis |
