Jail Song chords by Gene Autry

Chords with lyrics

Oh I'm a young cowboy they say I've done wrong
     C majorC     Am7Am7    G7G7      C majorC
While I'm restin' in jail I'll sing you a song
C7C7  FF          C majorC
Of a young cowpuncher who rode into town
       C7C7      D7D7       G7G7
And a county marshall they say he shot down
   C majorC    E minorEm  C7C7       FF      C majorC
They say they will hang him but he ain't gonna frown
           G7G7     C majorC
(yodel) Woopee ti yi yippee ti yo

Oh I'm a young cowboy I've landed in jail
Won't a kind hearted Cowboy come furnish some bail
There ain't no justice in this calaboose(?)
But I'd get some justice if I could get loose
I've talked to the jailor but it ain't any use
Whoopee Ti yi yippee ti yo

Oh I'm a young cowboy not bad but I'm bold
My side of the story is gonna be told
They'll find their mistaken they've got the wrong man
I'll figure a way to get out of this jam
I'm tired of eatin my grub from a can
