Take Fort Worth for your dressing and take Dallas all for your style

Take Fort Worth for your dressing Dallas all for your style

If you wanna go to the state penitentiary go to Groesbeck for your trial

I hung around Groesbeck and I worked in showers of rain

I say I hung around Groesbeck I worked in hard showers of rain

I never felt the least bit uneasy till I caught that penitentiary bound train

I used to be a drunkard I was rowdy everywhere I go

I used to be a drunkard and rowdy everywhere I go

If I ever get out of this trouble I'm in I won't be rowdy no more

Boys don't be bad please don't crowd your mind

I said boys don't be bad and please don't crowd your mind

If you happen to get in trouble in Groesbeck they're gonna send you penitentiary flyin'

I want you to stop and study and don't take nobody's life

I want you to stop and study don't take nobody's life

They've got walls at the state penitentiary you can't jump man they high as the sky
