[Verse 1]
I'm gonna give you thirty days to get back home
I've done called up the gypsy woman on the telephone
She's gonna send out a worldwide hoodoo
That'd be the very thing that'll suit you
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days

[Chorus]
Oh thirty days (Thirty days)
Oh thirty days (Thirty days)
Baby I'll see that you'll be back home in thirty days
She's gonna send out a worldwide hoodoo
That'd be the very thing that'll suit you
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days

Ah, Billy Byrd now

[Guitar Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I've done talked to the judge in private early this morning
And he sent me to the sheriff's office to sign a warrant
I'm gonna put across charges against you
That'll be the very thing that'll send you
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days
[Chorus]
Oh thirty days (Thirty days)
Oh thirty days (Thirty days)
Baby I'll see that you'll be back home in thirty days
She's gonna send out a worldwide hoodoo
That'd be the very thing that'll suit you
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days

Ah, Half-Moon Bradley now

[Piano Interlude]

Ah, Tommy Jackson now

[Fiddle Interlude]

[Verse 3]
I don't get no satisfaction from the judge
I'm gonna take it to the FBI as a personal grudge
If they don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the United Nations
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days

[Chorus]
Oh thirty days (Thirty days)
Oh thirty days (Thirty days)
Baby I'll see that you'll be back home in thirty days
She's gonna send out a worldwide hoodoo
That'd be the very thing that'll suit you
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days
