The Tale of Michael Flynn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm a stranger to your city My name is Michael Flynn I got drunk the other night And the police run me in Now, I had no money to pay my fine No friend to go my bail So I got stuck for 90 days In the Portland County jail [Chorus] Oh, the Portland County jail The Portland County jail Yeah, I got stuck for 90 days In the Portland County jail [Verse 2] Well, the only friend that I had in there Was a man named Happy Jack He told me of his life of crime And of all the safes he'd cracked He ran away from Idaho With bloodhounds on his trail Could freeze the blood of an honest man In the Portland County jail [Chorus] Oh, the Portland County jail The Portland County jail Could freeze the blood of an honest man In the Portland County jail [Verse 3] Well, thе very best friend that I еver had Was Officer McCrum He swore I was a dirty and A no-good lazy bum One Saturday night when I got tight He tossed me in the can And now you see he's made of me An honest, workin' man [Chorus] Oh, the Portland County jail The Portland County jail And now you see he's made of me An honest, workin' man [Chorus] (The Portland County jail) The Portland County jail (The Portland County jail) The Portland County jail And now you see he's made of me An honest, workin' man
