Viola Lee Blues

Clerk he wrote it down indeed

Judge decreed it, clerk, he wrote it down

Give you this jail sentence, you'll be Nashville bound

Some got six month, some got one solid

Some got one solid year indeed

Some got six month, some got one solid year

But me and my buddies all got lifetime here

I wrote a letter, I mailed in the

Mailed it in the air indeed

Wrote a letter, I mailed in the air

You may know by that I have got a friend somewhere

I wrote a letter, I mailed in the

Mailed it in the air indeed

Wrote a letter, I mailed in the air

You may know by that I have got a friend somewhere
