I've got a sad sad story friends that I don't like to tell,

  G              D                C                 G
I had a home and family when they locked me in this cell,

C                 D                 C                 G
I've been in here eighteen years, a long, long time I know,

G                     D                   C                G     G

Well he bought me drinks and took me to every honky tonk in town,

G                    D                     C                G        G
Words were said, and now he's dead, I just had to bring him down.

G                   D             C                G
I know I'd be there with her if I hadn't used that knife,

I'll be here in this prison 'til my body's just a shell.
