Bet it ain't raining back home,

Bet you sister's still on the phone,

Bet momma's in the kitchen cooking fried chicken,
Eb F Bb
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong

Momma, don't you worry about it none though,

Everything's gonna be alright, momma,

They're teaching us a lot of new things in here, momma,

Things like there ain't no good in an evil hearted woman,

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James,
Bb Eb Bb G
And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi,
Eb Db Bb Ab Bb
And there ain't no good chain gang.
