C
They’re coming to arrest me mamma
Eb     D     C
Taking me to Gaol
C
I got nothing on me mamma
Eb        D         C
Can’t you fix my bail?

[Pre Chorus]
C
They say that I am guilty mamma
Eb     D     C
I must do my time
C
All I drank was whiskey
    Eb         D         C
Now that ain’t such a crime

[Chorus]
G                                          C
And if I went out dancing I don’t remember why
F                                             G
I woke up in the morning beneath a clear blue sky
F                                     C
I might have met somebody who took me for a ride
C                     F
And when the show was over
C
I had no place left to hide
C
I had no place to hide

[Verse 2]
C
Its goddam Dark and lonely mamma
Eb     D       C
locked in this cell
C
You don’t get no mercy
Eb        D         C
When they ring that bell
C     Eb        D         C
Honey when they ring that bell

[Pre Chorus]
C
They say that I am guilty mamma
Eb     D     C
I must do my time
C
All I drank was whiskey
    Eb         D         C
Now that ain’t such a crime

[Chorus]
G                                          C
And if I went out dancing I don’t remember why
F                                             G
I woke up in the morning beneath a clear blue sky
F                                     C
I might have met somebody who took me for a ride
C                     F
And when the show was over
C
I had no place left to hide
C
I had no place to hide
