 DI've got a sad sad story fAriends that I don't like Gto tell,D  
 DI had a wife and family Awhen they locked me in a Gcell,D  
 GI've been in here eighteeAn years, a long, long tiGme I know,D  
 DBut time don't mean a Athing to me, 'causGe I've got life to go.D  
 DWell I went one night where the Alights werGe bright just to see what I could sDee,
 DI met up with an old frienAd who just thGought the world of me,D  
 GWell he bought me drinks and took me Ato every honky Gtonk in town,D  
 DWords were said, and now hAe's dead, I just had to Gbring him down.D  
 DWell it's been a long long time now, Asince I've Gheard from my wife,D  
 DI know I'd be there with her Ayet if I hadn't used tGhat knife,D  
 GWell I bet that little girl oAf mine don't realGize or know,D  
 DHer Daddies's been here eighteen yeaArs, and still Ggot life to go.D  
DWell I'll bet there ain't a man outsAide who's speGnt this long in jail.D
