Bars Across the Windows

歌詞

Bars across the windows bars across the door I'm locked behind these everlastin' bars forever more Take away these bars across the windows bars across the door I'm locked behind these everlastin' bars forever more (Well uh tell me your story son) It was late one evening as the sun went down Money in my pocket as I rode into town I saw my sweetheart in the arms of dashin' Billy Brown In a flash of anger I shot old Billy down Now I've got bars across the windows bars across the door I'm locked behind these everlastin' bars forever more (Uh then what did you do son) Billy lay so quiet his lips as cold as clay I headed south for Texas a thousand miles away Headlines scream a warnin' killer on the run My luck played out in Texas looking down a ranger's gun Now I've got bars across the windows... (Well what did they do to yuh boy) The judge rapped down his mallet the court was hushed and quiet The jury brought the verdict I grew sick inside My sweetheart was crying vowed she loved me true As they led me to this jailhouse where I've got life to do Now I've got bars across the windows... I've got these bars across the windows...
