G
They picked me up
Put me in the county jail
They picked me up
Put me in the county jail
D
They would not let my woman
C                 G
Come and post my bail

Now I am in prison
I have almost done my time
Now I am in prison
I have almost done my time
They gave me six months
I had to work out nine

I know my baby
She is going to jump and shout
I know my baby
She is going to jump and shout
When the train comes in
And I come walking out

Take these stripes from around me
Chains from around my legs
Take these stripes from around me
Chains from around my legs
The stripes do not hurt me
The chains could kill me dead
