Verse one

Waylon):

I'll bet it ain't a-rainin' back home

I bet your sister's still on the phone

 I bet mama's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken

 Wishing that I hadn't done wrong

Verse two

Johnny - Spoken):

Don't you worry about us none now, mama

Everything's gonna be all right, mama

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

Things like...

Chorus

Johnny with Waylon as harmony/background singer):

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

 And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi

 And there ain't no good chain gang

Instrumental

Waylon on guitar. See bottom of document...

Verse three

Waylon):

Papa's readin' yesterday's mail

Wishin' that the hay was all bailed

I'll bet he's a-wishin' he could go fishin'

And here I am a-laying in jail

Verse four

Jonnhy - Spoken):

Don't you worry about us now, Papa

They're teaching us a lesson a day, we're learning pretty well, too

We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
