Bet it aint raining back home
Bet your sisters still on the phone
Bet Mommas in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
Wishing that I hadnt done wrong
Momma, dont you worry about it none though
Everythings gonna be all right, Momma
Theyre teaching us a lot of new things in here Momma
Things like
There aint no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I aint cut out to be no Jesse James
And you dont go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there aint no good chain gang
Papas reading yesterdays mail
Wishing that the hay was all baled
I bet hes a-wishing we could go fishing
And here I am a-laying in jail
Well, Papa, dont you worry about it none now
Everythings gonna be all right, Papa
Theyre teaching us a lesson a day were learning pretty well too
Weve already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like
There aint no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I aint cut out to be no Jesse James
And you dont go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there aint no good chain gang
There aint no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I aint cut out to be no Jesse James
And you dont go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there aint no good chain gang
There aint no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I aint cut out to be no Jesse James
And you dont go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there aint no good chain gang
There aint no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I aint cut out to be no Jesse James
And you dont go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there aint no good chain gang
