Boston Jail Lyrics

(Tony Senn - Tommy Stough)

Wino Skid Row Joe
Some on vegrancy
They've got all kinds in the Boston jail
Now they've got me.

In the county jail in old Boston
They've got all kinds you see
From all walks of life they come
All lost their liberty.

Now some got wives just outside
A waitin' for their return
Long timers, short timers
And some a waitin' to burn.

Wino Skid Row Joe
Some on vegrancy
They've got all kinds in the Boston jail
Now they've got me.

Now some will say
Yesterday I really had the jack
But paper and pen got me locked in them
Checks come a bouncin' back.

And late at night when the lights go outPorter Wagoner - Boston Jail - http://motolyrics.com/porter-wagoner/boston-jail-lyrics.html
They tell their tales of woe
About old friends and places they've been
And where they'd like to go.

Wino Skid Row Joe
Some on vegrancy
They've got all kinds in the Boston jail
Now they've got me.

But it's too late that one mistake
Condemns them to a cell
Where every dream's a forgotten thing
And each day's a living hell.

Listen guys if you're wise
From this town you'll run
Or soon you'll find you're a pullin' time
In the jail in old Boston.

Wino Skid Row Joe
Some on vegrancy
They've got all kinds in the Boston jail
Now they've got me.

Wino Skid Row Joe
Some on vegrancy
They've got all kinds in the Boston jail
Now they've got me...
