Jailhouse Blues

The jailhouse blues have consumed me The life that I lived has doomed me For all of the things I've done so wrong The law says that this is where that I belong Society says that justice is due For a life of crime and mischief too If only I knew then what I know now I'd have lived my life different somehow So here I sit feeling so sad Because of the things I did that were bad I know I have no right to complain My crimes and bad deeds, I cannot explain
