Way down in the Fort Worth jailhouse, feelin' kinda low
Nobody cares about me, cause I ain't got no dough
Number five, so black and shiny
Took me off to jail, my good gal, said so long daddy
Cause I can't go your bail, all young now
Put me in a cell so dreary, turned the lights down low
Fed me beans and hardtack cornbread, said they'd never let me go
All you rambling men take warning, don't go near that big cow town
Never trust to stalk your baby, cause she'll always let you down
