Kansas Joe McCoy - Joliet Bound lyrics

Now the police coming With his ball and chain Mmmm mmmm Police coming With his ball and chain And they accusing me of murder Never harmed a man Now some got six months Some got a solid year Mmmm mmmm Some got six months Some got one solid year Now I mean my buddy Got a lifetime here Now the judge he pleaded Clerk, he wrote it down Mmmm mmmm Judge he pleaded Clerk, he wrote it down That if I miss jail sentence now Must be Joliet Bound Now cook my supper Let me go to bed Mmmm mmmm Cook my supper now Let me go to bed I've been drinking white lightning And it's gone to my head Now quit me baby Do anything you want to do Mmmm mmmm Quit me baby Do anything you want to do Some day you gonna want me Cinch and I won't want you Now the police shoved (shivved) his old Pistol in my side Mmmm mmmm Police shoved his old Pistol in my side Says, if you run big boy, now Must be born to die When they had my trial You could not be found Mmmm mmmm Had my trial You could not be found Now and I got all messed up And I'm Joliet Bound
