Wrongfull Imprisonment In the County Jailhouse
Office what do we have here, handcuffed to this big chair?
She looks mighty young, what's her awesome crime?
Got to affix the penalty and the time to the crime...
What did she do, kill her mama and her pa...rob a bank, steal a car?
She looks mighty young, was she carrying a big stick, knife, a gun?
Is she a sniper, dope peddler, a user too - Speak up officer what did she do?
Did she try to do away with you too? Who called for you to bring her in?
You chased her into the home of her friend and bodily brought her in!
Jay walked!...eleven years old! Gave you some sass - man uncuff that child fast!
Boy, you have really done it now! You are in big trouble and so are we -
Man set that child free - Office I know you've been told to uphold the law,
But this time I think you done gone too far!
Lord have mercy! Stop crying child we are calling your mama right now!
