[Intro]
Way down (Way down)
In Fort Worth jailhouse (Way down)
Feeling low (So low)
Feeling low

[Verse 1]
Way down in the Fort Worth jailhouse
Feeling kinda low
Nobody cares about me
'Cause I ain't got no dough
Well, the number-nine, so black and shiny
Took me off to jail
My good gal said, "So long, daddy
'Cause I can't go your bail"
('Cause I can't go your bail)

[Verse 2]
Put me in that cell so dreary
Turned them lights down low
Fed me beans, hardtack cornbread
Said they'd never let me go (Let me go, let me go)
All you ramblin' men, take warning
Don't go near that big Cowtown
Never trust a stockyard baby
'Cause they'll always let you down (Let you down, let you down, down, down)
[Verse 3]
Three more days, I'm a-gonna be a-goin'
Down that road so long
Looking for my blue eyed baby
Though I know she's done me wrong
(Though I know she's done me wrong)

[Outro]
(Though I know, though I know she's done me wrong)
(She's done me wrong)
Some women are just rock into the coaler
