Lyrics
I'm gonna put y'all on the line
Little time with the judge here in Memphis
They call Judge Boucher
One time I got arrested
I had to go before Judge Boucher
I come to talking to him
Hear what I said
"Good morning, Judge, what may be my fine?
Good morning, Judge, what may be my fine?
Good morning, Judge, what may be my fine?
Fifty dollars and eleven twenty-nine
They arrest me for murder, I ain't never harmed a man
They arrest me for murder and I ain't never harmed a man
Arrest me for murder and I ain't never harmed a man
Arrest me for forgery and I can't even sign my name
Arrest me for forgery and I can't even sign my name
My first name Furry, second name ain't never been told
My first name Furry, my second name ain't never been told
I've been waiting on you ever since you were twelve years old
Look Gracie!
Ever since you were twelve years old
I've been waiting on you ever since you were twelve years old
I'm going away, I'll be gone a great long time
Going away, baby, I'll be gone a great long time
I'll never see you again, you'll forever be on my mind
That's all right!
That's all right, baby, that's all right with you
That's all right, baby, with you
All right, that's all with you
I've been to the workhouse, I done been to the pen
I've been to the workhouse, I've been to the pen
Fool with me, baby, I'm going back again
My woman come a-running with a hundred dollars in her hand
My woman come a-running with a hundred dollars in her hand
Crying, "Judge, won't you please bail my man?"
One hundred won't do, better run and get your three
One hundred dollars won't do, better run and get your three
One hundred dollars won't do, better run and get your three
I can keep your man from penitentiary
I was laying in jail with my back tied to the wall
I was laying in jail with my back tied to the wall
Woman I love is the cause of it all
