Pecos Jail

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got in a fight in ol' Pecos town And there I gunned a bigger bully down A well the sheriff came a-running nobody set my bail So they threw me back in to that Pecos jail [Chorus] Way down where the floor is cold and the walls are dark And very little sun comes in And the sheriff's daughter brings me bread and water 'Til I drop to a hundred and ten But there's a funny little ending (Ooh), to this tale (Ooh) I think my future's in the Pecos jail [Verse 2] We fell in love, the shеriff's daughter and me One night littlе Suzy slipped me the key Then she gave me a sweet kiss and I was San Antone bound But my lips kept burning so I turned my horse around [Chorus] Back to where the floor is cold and the walls are dark And very little sun comes in And the sheriff's daughter brings me bread and water 'Til I drop to a hundred and ten But there's a funny little ending (Ooh), to this tale (Ooh) I think my heart's found a future here in the Pecos jail [Verse 3] Slipped back in that jailhouse into Suzy's arms Even in this cold cell she made me feel kinda warm It's a sweet little Suzy that I'm thinking of And in this jailhouse I found my true love [Chorus] Way down where the floor is cold and the walls are dark And very little sun comes in And the sheriff's daughter brings me bread and water 'Til I drop to a hundred and ten But there's a happy little ending (Ooh), to this tale (Ooh) I think my future's here in the Pecos jail Yeah, I found my future here in the Pecos jail
