Verse 1
C 
That crooked lawyer, that son of a gun
G 
He took my woman and away they run
She took my money and he took my car
And left me stranded here
C 
behind these bars
They're over havin' them
a swingin' spree
F 
But I am worried about them swingin' me
C 
Bars won't hold me but a little while
G 
C 
If mama don't forget that file

A sugar cake
For your lovin' child
C 
Oh, mama bake
A sugar cake sugar cake
for your poor imprisoned

C 
mama mama mama don't forget that fire
that crooked lawyer
that son of a gun
G 
said i had the case all but one
My baby said she testified for me
C 
That I was innocent as I  could be
And when she got up on the witness stand
She told the judge
F 
I was a guilty man
C 
Hand in hand they left that trial
G
