I left a girl in the county jail
I didn't write her
I didn't leave her bail
but the other day I got a letter
it said,"I'm coming out to get ya,
It'll make me feel better."
I had a girl in Santa Fe
I used to write to her everyday
but the other day I got a letter
it said,"Don't write back,
It'll make me feel better."
I had a girl who lived next-door
I found I went to see her more and more
but the other day I got a letter
it said,"I ran off with your sister,
She makes me feel better."
That's the story of the way I live
I always take
seldom give
but the other day I found a dollar
and this old man says to me,
"Hey there sonny, could I have that dollar?
I really need the money."
So I dropped that dollar to the ground
the old man was blind
I don't believe the bill was found
But I don't know
'cause that's when I heard the wail
of that girl I left
who just got out of jail
And suddenly I was hit from behind
the rest of my life
I'll spend blind
but the other day a little kid came up
and said,"Hey man, let me help you up."
