Down in the alabama jailhouse
As lonesome as i can be
With nothing but the blues all around me
To keep me company
Time on my hands and i'm a-waitin'
I'm walkin' up and down the floor
But if i ever get out of this alabama jail
Well, i'm never comin' back no more
'cause it started in the drinkin' and gamblin'
I knew at the time it was wrong
But i thought i could win a lot of money
Have a lot of wine, women and song
But i lost all my money
Went out on a drinkin' spree
Somebody shot down that gamblin' man
The woman laid the blame on me
A policeman, he come along and he got me
He locked me in this cold cold cell
With a million bars all around me
Nobody to throw my bail
Well, i'm a-waitin' for the judge and the jury
I don't know what the verdict's gonna be
But if i ever get out of this alabama jail
They're gonna see the last of me
Well, i'm a-sittin' in this alabama jailhouse
Well, i'm so lonesome that i could die
Because they clipped my wings
They put me in this cage
Well, i'm the kinda bird that don't fly
Well, i'm a-waitin' for the judge and the jury
I don't know what the verdict's gonna be
But if i ever get out of this alabama jail
They're gonna see the last of me
They're gonna see the last of me
