FORT WORTH JAIL

(Dick Reinhardt)

« © '46 Red River Songs, BMI »

Way down in Fort Worth jailhouse feeling kinda low

Nobody cares about me cause I ain't got no dough

No 5 so black and shiny took me off to jail

My good gal said so long baby cause I can't go your bail

Dream all days that I'll be goin' down that lonely road so long

Looking for my stockyard baby though I know she's done me wrong

All you ramblin' men take a warning don't go near that big cowtown

Never trust a stockyard baby cause she always lets you down
