You can bet your life i'm going to jail, judge bought a cadillac
With my bail.
Loadin' that cotton in a hundred pound sack, uh huh. (repeat)
Loadin' that cotton in a hundred pound sack, got a twelve gauge
Shot gun at my back.
I be in jail for the rest of my life, uh huh. (repeat)
You know that i be in jail for the rest of my life, all i ever
Did was to shot my wife, uh huh.
Sittin' down here on a parchment farm, uh huh. uh huh. i ain't
Never done nobody no harm.
Uh huh. uh huh. bet your life i'm going to jail.
Uh huh. uh huh. sittin' down here on a parchment farm.
