Joliet Bound

Police comin' with a ball and chain

Oooh-ooh

Police comin' with a ball and chain

Accusing me of murder

I never hurt no one



Well some got six months, some got one solid year

Oooh-ooh

Some got six months, some got one solid year

Take a look at me baby I got a lifetime here



Well lawyer pleaded, clerk he wrote it down

Oooh-ooh

Lawyer pleaded, clerk he wrote it down

When the judge passed my sentence

I was Joliet bound



Well police shoot the gun, pain all in my side

Oooh-ooh

Police shoot the gun, pain all in my side

If you run with me, baby, you know you're bound to die



Heya

You wanna quit me baby, first thing you wanna do

Oooh-ooh

You gonna quit me baby, first thing you wanna do

Someday you gonna want me

And hey I won't want you



When they had my trial, you could not be found

Oooh-ooh

Had my trial, you could not be found

Yeah, I got all messed up

Now I'm Joliet bound

Hey
