Though these claims, I repudiate I've got to set it straight that I was not the one Who undercover of darkness came Opened her window frame And caused the damage that was done O' Judge I'm at your command It seem you've forced my hand To give up my own brother We came in south just behind the barn Rode through McKenzie Farm To that house of glowing light The safe it promised nearly 40 grand But James had other plans And I lost him in the night Just so you know, well we have a code We take money, but never any life O' the screams They penetrate my dreams Like the knife found at the scene Jolene, she was only seventeen When the caller came crawling through her screen O' Judge hear my plea! Please take me! For it was I who did not raise him right Oh for in my sleep, when I dream It's of penitentiary And the lightning that he will ride
