Bet it ain't rainin' back home
Bet your sister's still on the phone
Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cookin' fried chicken
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong, yeah
Momma, don't you worry about it none though
Everything's gonna be all right, Momma
They're teachin' us a lot of new things in here Momma
Things like
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

Papa's readin' yesterday's mail
Wishin' that the hay was all baled
I bet he's a-wishin' we could go fishin'
And here I am a-layin' in jail
Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now
Everything's gonna be all right, Papa
They're teachin' us a lesson a day we're learnin' pretty well too
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
ย
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
