Verse 1
Lordy put me in the jailhouse,
I'm hangin' on the street.
When the judge heard the verdict,
I was the guilty man,
He said forty -five dollars
for thirty days in a can.

No money, damn, no credit plan
I found a telephone number
on a laundry slip
I had a good -hearted jailer
D

with a six -gun tip
He let me call up distance,

I know it's truer than I told her,

30 days in the jailhouse,
4 days on the road
I was feelin' mighty hungry,

I saw a grey hat coming,
struck up my thumb
Just as I was being seated,

the driver caught my arm

This old grey dog can't play to run

This old grey dog, get clay to run

on the barrelhead son

This old grey dog, can't play to run
Boing, boing, boing.
