Johnny Cash


Bet it ain't raining back home
Bet your sister's still on the phone
Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong

Yeah Momma, don't you worry about in none though
Everything's gonna be alright, Momma
They're teaching us a lot of new things in here Momma
Things like

They're ain't no good in an evil hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
And their ain't no good chain gangs

Papa's reading yesterday's mail
Wishing that the hay was all bailed
I bet he's a - wishing we could go fishing
And here I am a - laying in jail

Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now
They're teaching a lesson a day e're learning pretty well too
We've learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like

There ain't no good in an evil hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gangs

There ain't no good in an evil hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gangs
