Capo 1


A
Bet it ain't rainin' back home
A
Bet your sister's still on the phone
    A                                     F#7
Bet momma's in the kitchen, cookin' fried chicken
D              E           A
Wishin' that I hadn't done wrong


Spoken:
A
Momma, don't you worry 'bout it none, though
A
Everything's gonna be alright, momma
A
They're teachin' us a lot of new things in here, mama
A
Things like


Chorus:
               A
There ain't no good in an evil hearted woman
      A
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
        D                           A             F#7
And you don't go writin' hot checks down in Mississippi
          D     E  A    E     A
And there ain't no good chain gang


Papa's readin' yesterdays mail
Wishin' that the hay was all baled
I bet he's wishin' we could go fishin'
But here I am layin' in jail

Spoken:
Well, papa, don't you worry 'bout it none
Now everything's gonna be alright, papa
They're teachin' us a lesson a day
And we're learnin' pretty well, too
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like

Chorus
