    Story Behind the Song
    No. I've never actually been in the slammer, at Christmas time, or any other time, but perhaps you can appreciate, as I do, the humor of this situation.

    Lyrics
    I'm Spending Christmas in the Slammer
    (c) 2000 Wales Tales Music

    A week ago I passed through this small town
    I went inside the bar and then sat down
    A pretty girl said "Hi",
    And asked me if I'd buy
    So I told her yes and ordered up a round

    She never, ever told me that her dad
    Was a man who wore a gun and carried a badge
    He walked into the bar,
    And flashed his sheriff's star
    He said "Mister you done made me real mad"

    Now I'm spending Christmas in the slammer
    Trapped inside a jail in Alabama
    I'm innocent you know, but he won't let me go
    So I'm spending Christmas in the slammer

    I asked him what I did and he got quiet
    He told me that I tried to start a riot
    I said "It's just me and you" ,
    He said "It don't take no more than two"
    "Tell it to the Judge, maybe he'll buy it"

    I asked him when the county judge
    Could see me
    I said "You know that tomorrow's
    Christmas eve"
    He said "I'll buy a tree,
    On the bars I'll hang a wreath
    'Cause the county judge is off
    Until next week"
