Joliet Bound Songtext
von Rory Block

Police coming with his ball and chain
Police coming now with his ball and chain
And they accusing me of murder, never harmed a man

Well, some got six months, some got a solid year
Some got six months, some got a solid year
Now, me and my buddy got a lifetime here

Well, the lawyer he pleaded, clerk he wrote it down
Lawyer pleaded, clerk he wrote it down
If I has your sentence, must be Joliet bound


Well, you can cook my supper, let me go to bed
Cook my supper now, let me go to bed
I′ve been drinkin' white lightning, has gone to my head

You gone quit me, baby, it′s the first thing I wanna do
Quit me, baby, it's the first thing that I gonna do
Some day you gonna want me and I won't want you

Well, police shoot the gun, pain all in my side
Police shoot the gun, pain all in my side
If you run from me, must be born to die

When they had my trial, you could not be found
When I had my trial, you could not be found
Now I′m done got all messed up and I′m Joliet bound
