Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Bet it ain't raining back home,
Bet you sister's still on the phone,
Bet [C]momma's in the kitchen
[G]cooking fried [Em]chicken,
[C]Wishing that I [D]hadn't done wrong.
[G]

[Verse 2]
Momma, don't you worry about it none though,
Everything's gonna be alright,
momma,
They're teaching us a lot of new
things in here, momma,
Things like there ain't no good
in an evil hearted woman,

[Verse 3]
And I [G]ain't cut out to be no Jesse James,
And [C]you don't go writing hot
checks [G]down in Mississip[Em]pi,
And there [G]ain't [F]no [D]good [G]chain
[C]gang.[G][Em][G]

[Verse 4]
Papa's reading yesterday's mail,
[G]Wishing that the hay was all bailed,
[C]I bet he's wishing h[G]e could go f[E]ishing,
[Em]And here[C] I am a'[D]lazing in jail[G].
Well, papa,
don't you worry about it none,

[Verse 5]
Now, everything's gonna be alright, [G]papa,
They're teaching us a lesson today,
We're learning pretty well too,
We've already learned a
whole lot of stuff already,

[Verse 6]
[G]Things like there ain't no good
in an evil hearted woman,
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James,
And [C]you don't go writing hot
checks [G]down in Mississip[Em]pi,
And there [C]ain't [F]no [D]good [C]chain [G]gang. There
ain't no good in an evil hearted woman,

[Verse 7]
And I [G]ain't cut out to be
no Jesse [Gm]James,[G]
And [C]you don't go writing hot
checks [G]down in Mississip[Em]pi,
And there [G]ain't [F]no [C]good [G]chain
[C]gang.[G][Em][G][Bb]
[G]
There ain't no good in an
evil hearted woman,

[Verse 8]
And I [G]ain't cut out to be no [D]Jesse [G]James,
And [C]you don't go writing hot
checks [G]down in Mississip[Em]pi,
And there [G]ain't [F]no [D]good cha[G]in gang. There
ain't no good in an evil hearted woman,
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James,

[Verse 9]
And [C]you don't go writing hot
checks down in Mississip[Em]pi,
And there ain't no good chain gang.
