[00:00:00] A Week in a Country Jail (In the Style of Tom T. Hall) (Vocal Version) - Singer's Edge Karaoke (卡拉OK)

[00:00:04] Du

[00:00:13] One time i spent a week inside a little country jail

[00:00:17] And i don't guess i'll ever live it down

[00:00:21] I was sittin at a red light

[00:00:23] When these two men came and got me

[00:00:26] And said that i was speeding through their town

[00:00:30] Well they said tomorrow morning

[00:00:32] You can see the judge then go

[00:00:34] They let me call one person on the phone

[00:00:39] I thought i'd be there overnight so i just called my boss

[00:00:43] To tell him i'd be off but not for long

[00:00:47] Well they motioned me inside a cell

[00:00:49] With seven other guys

[00:00:52] One little barred up window in the rear

[00:00:56] My cellmates said if they had let me bring some money in

[00:01:00] We ought to send the jailer for some beer

[00:01:05] Well i had to pay him double

[00:01:06] Cause he was the man in charge

[00:01:09] And the jailer's job was not the best in town

[00:01:13] Later on his wife brought hot bologna eggs and gravy

[00:01:18] The first day i was there i turned it down

[00:01:22] Well next morning they just let us sleep

[00:01:24] But i was up real early

[00:01:26] Wonderin when i'd get my release

[00:01:31] Later on we got more hot bologna eggs and gravy

[00:01:35] And by now i wasn't quite so hard to please

[00:01:39] Two days later when i thought that i had been forgotten

[00:01:43] The sheriff came in chewin on a straw

[00:01:48] He said where is the guy who thinks

[00:01:50] That this is indianapolis

[00:01:52] I'd like to talk to him about the law

[00:01:56] Well i told him who i was and told him

[00:01:59] I was working steady

[00:02:01] And i really should be gettin on my way

[00:02:05] That part about me bein who i was did not impress him

[00:02:09] He said the judge'll be here any day

[00:02:14] The jailer had a wife and let me tell you she was awful

[00:02:18] But she brought that hot bologna every day

[00:02:22] And after seven days she got to lookin so much better

[00:02:27] I asked her if she'd like to run away

[00:02:31] The next mornin that old judge

[00:02:33] Took every nickel that i had

[00:02:35] And he said son let this teach you not to race

[00:02:40] The jailer's wife was smilin from the window as i left

[00:02:44] In thirty minutes i was out of state

[00:02:48] Du
