Jack Scott - Leroy

[A]Ahhh..mmmm   ahhh..mmmm  Ahhhh..mmmm   Ahhh..mmmmm

[A]I know a boy, he was never blue,

now he lives in cellblock two.

I don't know just why he's blue,
Leroy, [A7]what'd you do?

Well, [D]Leroy's back in jail again.
[A]Leroy's back in jail again.
I [E]don't know why, why he's blue.
[A]Leroy, what'd you do?

[A]Went to the judge, said dig it, man, wail.

I'm here and I got Leroy's bail.

Judge said, son don't you tell me no tale..
Leroy, he's gonna [A7]stay in jail.

Well, [D]Leroy's back in jail again.
[A]Leroy's back in jail again.
I [E]don't know why, why he's blue.

(INTERLUDE:SAX:)

[A]Now Leroy says, man you tried your best.

Now I'm here, gonna take a rest.

I've seen Minny, she's got the blues,
she let you wear my [A7]long pointed shoes.

Well, [D]Leroy's back in jail again.
[A]Leroy's back in jail again.
I [E]don't know why, why he's blue.

[A]Now Leroy's  heart is a bowl of hate.

Leroy, he just can't go straight.

Tell my Minny, I can't keep my date,
I'm gonna be about [A7]six months late.

Well, [D]Leroy's back in jail again.
