Leroy Songtext
von Jack Scott

I know a boy who was never blue
Now he lives in Cellblock Two
I don′t know just why he's blue
Leroy, what′d you do?

Leroy's back in jail again
Leroy's back in jail again
I don′t know why, why he′s blue
Leroy, what'd you do?

Went to the judge, dig man wail
I′m here and I got Leroy's bail
Judge said, "Son, don′t cha tell me no tale
Leroy, he's gonna stay in jail"

Leroy′s back in jail again
Leroy's back in jail again
I don't know why, why he′s blue
Leroy, what′d you do?


Now, Leroy says man, you tried the best
Man, I'm here gonna take a rest
I′ve seen Minny, she's got the blues
She let you wear my long pointed shoes

Leroy′s back in jail again
Leroy's back in jail again
I don′t know why, why he's blue
Leroy, what'd you do?

Now, Leroy′s heart is a bowl of hate
Leroy, he just can′t go straight
Tell my Minny, I can't keep my date
I′m gonna be 'bout six months late

Leroy′s back in jail again
Leroy's back in jail again
I don′t know why, why he's blue
Leroy, what'd you do?

Leroy, what′d you do?
Leroy, what′d you do?
Leroy, what'd you do?
Leroy!
