He strolled on home, I took my time
thought I'd sleep some more
C

I was stepping too slow.
C
F
Got surrounded by the sheriff in Mexico.
I didn't even get a chance
to see the country.
When I was arrested, didn't have a dime.
The sheriff said, son,
C
you're riding free this time.
you won't need a cent,
because the great state of Texas

is going to pay your rent.

Tell us where you're going.
Thank you, Mr. J.
You know it's not a loan.

Because the great state of Texas

I don't know whether to
hang you or not,
Bb
but this here killing of deputy sheriffs

has just naturally got to stop.
