Lyrics
Well, I put my money down for Aberdeen
All them Aberdeen women will not let me be
Now I, I stole a car and headed for New Orleans
I got close to halfway there and I ran out of gasoline
Walkin' along on the side of the road
And a Bahama come to highway patrol
Now I, I don't think I've seen you 'round here before
And he took my shoes away, and he locked the door
Now it's twenty-five years left to carry my load
Ain't gonna see my wife no more
Captain says that I can't go home
And I wonder how long I can change my clothes
Well, a fella in my cell had some homemade gin
I swear to the good Lord above I'll never touch him again
Now a fight broke out, I had blood on my chin
When the captain came running, broke my hand
Now I asked the judge, "When can I go home?"
He said, "Twenty-five years more, sure won't touch you none"
Now he put me on a bus headed for the county farm
When a train whistles blows, here's a thousand miles from my home
Now it's twenty-five years left to carry my load
Ain't gonna see my wife no more
Captain says that I can't go home
And I wonder how long I can change my clothes
Well, I asked the judge, "When can I go home?"
He said, "Twenty-five years more, won't touch you none"
Now he put me on a bus headed for the county farm
When a train whistles blows, here's a thousand miles from my home
Now it's twenty-five years left to carry my load
Ain't gonna see my wife no more
Captain says that I can't go home
And I wonder how long I can change my clothes
