Hutchinson Jail
 
                                                
Cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

                                            
Somebody help me please I'm as helpless as can be
                                     
And I don't know what my life is comin' to
                                      
They say I shot a man but I never shot I ran
                                   
That was my first mistake I'm telling you

Chorus:
                                                             
Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
                                                         
Yeah it's cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

I got a wife in Wichita and a girl in Saginaw
And they both ain't heard from me in some time
I hate to disappoint 'em both but some feller under oath
Said I did it and they believed his story not mine

Chorus

Snow's all over the ground there ain't one robin around
That I'd trust to carry a message to a friend
Guess I'll just stay here till spring sure wish I knew what's spring
They'd let me out so I can start again

Chorus
