Austin Prison
Ton : AEnglish
Couplet
AThey had a warrant out for Eme all over Acountry
And I was trying to beat two raps in EIdaho,
I was Abreaking into a school house Sunday Dmorning without warning
AWhen I saw the sheriff Ecoming for me Aslow from down below
Couplet
AHis steel grey eyes were Eblazing when he Asaw me
His hand was on his gun when he rode Eup
He Asaid you killed that woman I know you Dshot her why'd you do it?
AI'm taking you to EAustin and AI'm gonna lock you up
Couplet
AWell he tied me with the Eplowline the next Amorning
And he had me deep in Texas the next Eday
AA crazy screaming lynchmob waited Din streets of Austin
ABut he put me in the Ejailhouse and he Athrew the key away
Couplet
AA jury found me Eguilty three months Alater
Twelve evil men with murder in their Eeyes
AThey even took me out and said now Dshow us where you killed her
AAnd that wicked judge said Enow I hereby Asentence you to die
Couplet
But here I am far away from Austin prison my friend the jailor handed me a Efile
ANow all I want between me and there are Da lot of friendly people
AAnd miles and miles and Emiles and miles and Amiles and miles and miles
