Fort Worth Jail Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

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
