Bet it ain't raining back home Bet you sister's still on the phone Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken Wishing that I hadn't done wrong
Momma, don't you worry about it none though Every thing's gonna be alright, Momma They're teaching 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 writing hot checks down in Mississippi And there ain't no good chain gang
Papa's reading yesterday's mail Wishing that the hay was all bailed I bet he's wishing he could go fishing And here I am a lazing in jail
Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none Now, every thing's gonna be alright, Papa They're teaching us a lesson today We're learning 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 writing hot checks 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 writing hot checks 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 writing hot checks 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 writing hot checks down in Mississippi And there ain't no good chain gang
