Austin Prison

A                 E        A 
They had a warrant out for me all over country 
                         E  
And I was trying to beat two raps in Idaho,
  A                          D 
I was breaking into a school house Sunday morning without warning 
A              E        A
When I saw the sheriff coming for me slow from down below

A              E        A                                      
His steel grey eyes were blazing when he saw me 
                    E
His hand was on his gun when he rode up
A                         D
He said you killed that woman I know you shot her why'd you do it?
A          E      A
I'm taking you to Austin and I'm gonna lock you up


A               E        A
Well he tied me with the plowline the next morning 
                      E
And he had me deep in Texas the next day
A                  D    
A crazy screaming lynch mob waited in streets of Austin
A             E          A
But he put me in the jailhouse and he threw the key away


A           E          A 
A jury found me guilty three months later 
                   E 
Weld evil men with murder in their eyes
A                 D
They even took me out and said now show us where you killed her
A               E          A           
And that wicked judge said now I hereby sentence you to die
                                             E
But here I am far away from Austin prison my friend the jailor handed me a file
A                      D               
Now all I want between me and there are a lot of friendly people 
A             E         A  
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
