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
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...
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
Waylon on guitar. See bottom of document...
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
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
Things like...
Waylon guitar part (similar to first)
Fade out half way through second one
