coming down the line
Ah and he coughed as
he cleared his throat

In about five minutes

in walked the man
Holding the verdict
in his right hand

the verdict read

I hollered Lordy Lordy

have a mercy on me
Ninety-nine years

in the Folsom pen
Come on you've gotta
listen unto me

lay off that whiskey
and let that
