Boston Jail

Wino Skid Row Joe some on vegranci
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's 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 vegranci...

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 out 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 vegranci...
[ instrumental ]
But it's too late that one mistake condemns them to a cell
Where ev'ry dream's a forgotten thing and each day's a livin' 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 vegranci...
Wino Skid Row Joe some on vegranci...
