Boston Jail

Lyrics

[Chorus] Wino's, gigolo's, some on vagrancy They've got all kinds in the Boston jail now they've got me [Verse 1] In the county jail in old Boston they've got all kinds you see From all walks of life they come all lost their liberty Some's got wives just outside a-waitin' for their return Long timers short timers and some a-waitin' to burn [Chorus] Wino's, gigolo's, some on vagrancy They've got all kinds in the Boston jail now they've got me [Verse 2] Some will say yesterday I really had the jack But paper and pen got me locked in those checks come bouncin' back Latе at night when the lights go out they tеll their tales of woe About old friends and places they've been and where they'd like to go [Chorus] Wino's, gigolo's, some on vagrancy They've got all kinds in the Boston jail now they've got me [Verse 3] But it's too late that one mistake condemns them to a cell Where every dream's a forgotten thing and each day's a living hell So listen guys if you're wise from this town you'll run Or soon you'll find you're a pullin' time in the jail in old Boston [Chorus] Wino's, gigolo's, some on vagrancy They've got all kinds in the Boston jail now they've got me [Chorus] Wino's, gigolo's, some on vagrancy They've got all kinds in the Boston jail now they've got me
