Lyrics
Cold, cold, cold, cold, it`s cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Somebody help me please
I`m as helpless as I can be
And I don`t know what my life is comin` to
Now they say that I shot a man
Well I never shot I ran
And that was my first mistake I`m telling you
Ah it`s cold in the Hutchinson Jail, it`s cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Well it`s cold, cold, cold, cold, it`s cold in the Hutchinson Jail
I got a man in Wichita and a man in Saginaw
And they both ain`t heard from me in some time
I hate to disappoint them both but some feller under oath
Said I did it and they believed his story not mine
Ah it`s cold in the Hutchinson Jail, it`s cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Well it`s cold, cold, cold, cold, it`s cold in the Hutchinson Jail
There`s snow all over the ground
And there ain`t one robin around, that I`d trust to carry a message to a friend
I guess I`ll just stay here till spring
I sure wish I knew what spring
They`d let me out so I can start again
Ah it`s cold in the Hutchinson Jail, yeah it`s cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Well it`s cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, it`s cold in the Hutchinson Jail
