[C#] [E]
[A] [B]
[E] I woke up on the cement floor this morning.
My head felt like somebody been a-walkin' on it.
[A] I don't know how I got here.
I don't [E] remember nothin' at all.
[F#] But if I done all the things that you said I did, well [B] I sure am under half a ball.
But [A] in thirty more days I'm goin' back [E] home to see that gal of mine.
But the Wichita Jail is a long, long [F#] way from the Tumalo [C#m] County line.
I got it my time.
[B] [E] But I ain't gotta spend all the money I had, I spent it.
Shirt's torn, my shoes got a big hole in it.
[A] There's a king-size knot on the side of my head and [E] I got one big black eye.
[F#] But brother, if you think I look bad, [B] y'all seen [G#m] that other guy.
[A] But in thirty more days I'm goin' back [E] home to see that gal of mine.
But the Wichita Jail is a long, long way [C#m] from the Tumalo County line.
I got it my [B] time.

[C#m]
[B] Well [E] this nine-pound hammer feels like it weighs a [B] ton.
[E] Takin' littlins out of diggins in this red-hot-can sun.
[A] I sure hope I can make it just thirty more days to get [E] out of this mess I'm in.
And [F#] if I ever get back to Mississippi, [B] I ain't ever gonna [G#m] leave again.
[A] But in thirty more days I'm goin' back [E] home to see that gal of mine.
But the Wichita Jail is a long, long [F#] way from the Tumalo [C#m] County line.
I got it [B] my time.
I got it [C#m] my time.
I got it [B] my time.
