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
