Lyrics:

The judge decreed it
The clerk he wrote it
Clerk he wrote it
Down indeed-ee

Judge decreed it
Clerk he wrote it down
Give you this jail sentence
You'll be Nashville bound

Some got six month
Some got one solid
Some got one solid
Year indeed-ee

Some got six month
Some got one solid year
But me and my buddies
All got lifetime here

I wrote a letter
I mailed in the air
Mailed it on the
Air indeed-ee

I wrote a letter
I mailed in the air
You may know by that
I've got a friend somewhere
