Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Way [C]down in the Fort Worth Jailhouse,
feelin' kinda low
[G]Nobody car[C]es about me
Cause I ain't [G]got no [C]dog,
number five, so black and shiny
Took me off [G]to jail, my good [C]gal,
said so long daddy
Cause I can't [G]go your [C]bail all yonder
Put me in a cell so dreary
Turn the lights down [G]low,
fed me [C]beans and hardtack cornbread,
said they'd never [G]let me [C]go.
All you rambling men take warning,
don't go near that big cow [G]town,
never [C]trust a stockyard baby.
Oh, she'll always [G]let [C]you down.
