Lyrics

Bet it ain't raining back home
Bet your sister's still on the phone
Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
Wishing that
I hadn't done wrong
Yeah, Momma, don't you worry about it none though
Everything's gonna be all right,
MommaThey're teaching us a lot of new things in here
MommaThings like
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no
Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in
Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
Papa's reading yesterday's mail
Wishing that the hay was all baled
I bet he's a-wishing we could go fishing
And here I am a-laying in jail
Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now
Everything's gonna be all right,
PapaThey're teaching us a lesson a day we're learning pretty well too
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no
Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in
Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no
Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in
Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no
Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in
Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
