[Verse 1]
E                                          B
I was leavin up through mississippi, i was only passin through
        A            E                 D      A       E
But the police up in Memphis, they can give a man the blues
                                                     B
And I didn't lose like i was supposed to, and that casino man got mad
         A              E                D        A       E
Said the fat man to the law man, get him back and you get half
[Chorus]
                A                 E
 And I'm on the wrong side of the barbed wire
       B
im all alone and i can't make bail
           A             E              D      A      E
It makes a man miss mississippi in that shelby county jail
[Verse 2]
E                               B
Well the wardens new sunglasses sure do look like mine
           A                  E                 D      A      E
You better bring your daddy's money 'cross that shelby county line
[Chorus]
               A                 E
And I'm on the wrong side of the barbed wire
       B
im all alone and i can't make bail
             A             E              D      A      E
It'll make a man miss mississippi in that shelby county jail
[Verse 3]
        A             D           A      E
freight train, headin south where i want to
      A             D      A        E
but i can't, til my thirty days are through
       A                                    E
oh now what else can a poor boy dooooo yeah yeah  (solo)
[Bridge]
               E
Shoulda stayed away from that casino 
              B
can't go back home if you got won
         A                  E
im gonna kiss the ground in my home town
        B       A       E
when my time in here is done
[Chorus]
               A                 E
And I'm on the wrong side of the barbed wire
       B
im all alone and i can't make bail
           A             E              D      A      E
