Big Rock Jail

Big Rock Jail - Ed Bell

Said high sheriff been here : got my girl and gone

I said isn't it lonely : since I'm all alone

Well listen Mr : what have my baby done

I just want to know : if she done anybody wrong

They took her on down : to that big rock jail

And her crime was so evil : nobody will go her bail

You took your gun : made her raise her hand

And you went wrong : because she ain't never harmed a man

My babe in jail : I can't get no news

I don't get nothing : but the mean old high sheriff blues
