boston burglar - hedy west lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was born and raised in boston
a city you all know well
raised up by honest parent
the truth to you i’ll tell

[verse 2]
raised up by honest parent
and raised most tenderly
’til i became a burglar
at the age of 23

[verse 3]
they arrested me in birmingham
taken me to charleston jail
and there i lay for months and months
no one to go my bail

[verse 4]
the jury found me guilty
the clerk, he wrote it down
the judge, he passed my sentence
nine years in the eastburn mine

[verse 5]
they laid me on an eastbound train
one cold december day
and every city that i passed through
i could hear them people say
[verse 6]
“there goes a boston burglar
in chains and all bound down
bound for some crime or other
and bound to leave his town”
