Boston Jail Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

Wino Skid Row Joe some on vegranci 

They've got all kinds in the Boston jail now they've got me 

In the county jail in old Boston they've got all kinds you see 

From all walks of life they come all lost their liberty 

Now some got wives just outside a waitin' for their return 

Long timers short timers and some a waitin' to burn 

Wino Skid Row Joe 

Now some will say yesterday I really had the jack 

But paper and pen got me locked in them checks come a bouncin' back 

And late at night when the lights go out they tell their tales of voe 

About old friends and places they've been and where they'd like to go 

Wino Skid Row Joe 

But it's too late that one mistake condemns them to a cell 

Where every dream's a forgotten thing and each day's a living hell 

Listen guys if you're wise from this town you'll run 

Or soon you'll find you're a pullin' time in the jail in old Boston 

Wino Skid Row Joe
