Lyrics

I left my gal sad and lonely
Left her standing in the rain
I went down to the railroad
I caught myself a midnight train
I beat my way into Texas
Landed in a gambling town
I got myself into trouble
I shot the county sheriff down, oh Lord
I shot the county sheriff down
They put the handcuffs on me
Tied me with a ball and chain
They took me to El Paso
They tied me with a ball and chain
These prison bars all around me
No one to call my babe
My heart sad and so lonely
I want to get out of this jail, oh Lord
I want to get out of this jail
The jury read the verdict
Murder in the first degree
They charged that deathless prisoner
Into the penitentiary
They put the handcuffs on me
Tied me with a ball and chain
I left my home forever
And I'll never see my gal again, oh Lord
I'll never see my gal again
