Fort Worth Jail

(Dick Reinhardt)



(Way down in Fort Worth jailhouse feeling low, feeling low.)



Way down in Fort Worth jailhouse

Feeling kind of low

Nobody cares about me

'Cause I ain't got no dough.



Well, the No. 5 so black and shiny

Took me off to jail

My good gal said so long daddy

'Cause I can't go your bail.



They put me in that cell so dreary

Turned them lights down low

Fed me beans and hard cornbread

Said they'll never let me go.



All you ramblin' men take a warning

Don't go near that big cowtown

Never trust a stockyard babies

'Cause they'll always lets you down.



Dream all days I'm a gonna be a goin' down

That road so long

Looking for my blue eyed baby

Though I know she's done me wrong.



(Though I know she's done me wrong

Though I know she's done me wrong...)
