Jailbird Songtext
von Van Broussard

I went to jail for beating my baby
And the judge gave me 90 days
He said boy you must be crazy
I′m gonna fix you for hitting that lady
And I say judge and he said shut up
Well boy you ought to know better
I didn't get a chance to tell her
She had hit me with a baseball bat


He gave me a hard, hard, hard, hard sentence
Everybody treat me so unkind
I′m going back and find my baby
'Cause I am the loving kind
He gave me a hard, hard, hard, hard sentence
Everybody treat me so unkind
I'm going back and find my baby
′Cause I got myself to blame

I went to jail for beating my baby
And the judge gave me 90 days
He said boy you must be crazy
I′m gonna fix you for hitting that lady
And I say judge and he said shut up
Well boy you ought to know better
I didn't get a chance to tell her
She had hit me with a baseball bat


He gave me a hard, hard, hard, hard sentence
Everybody treat me so unkind
I′m going back and find my baby
'Cause I got myself to blame
He gave me a hard, hard, hard, hard sentence
Everybody treat me so unkind
I′m going back and find my baby
'Cause I am the loving kind
