===(part 1)===

you see my mama, tell her for me
i got lifetime in prison, i’d never go free

i get a-thinkin, bout my wife and child
won’t do nothin’, walking tan’over and cry

you oughta been in, the year nineteen and ten
you oughta be in prison, the year nineteen and ten
when they drop the women, like they did to the men

i hate to hear, that big bell ring
i hate to hear, that big bell ring
so many years in prison, held down with ball and chain

six months ain’t no sentence, two years ain’t no time
six months ain’t no sentence, two years ain’t no time
i’ve got a friend in prison, done ninety-nine

===(part 2)===

you oughta be in prison, the year nineteen and twelve
when you finally found, was a bind
my mother called me, i answered mam
“you tired of runnin’?”, yes i am
i could hear my father talkin’ to her
“whatcha want to let-cha baby, baby, suffer for?”
my mother called me, i answered mam
“you tired of rollin’?”, for [?]

you oughta be in prison, big [?], the year nineteen and four
see a dead man layin’ on every town road
i could hear him hollerin’, every mornin’, at the break of day
while i’m telling you baby, praying don’t pay
in the morning, when the judge come down
sheriff found you guilty, you’re prison bound
