lyrics

Tell me where you come from now?
Tell me where you come from now?

I’m from far out in the country
I’m from far out in the country

How you get your livin’ done?
On my rack and pony

What’s your horses livin’ on?
I give them corn and water

Instrumental

Down the road I got arrested
Police took me to the jailhouse

(What’d they do?)
Brought me before a cruel old judge
That judge give me a heavy sentence

(Then what’d I say to him)
“Judge, you know I ain’t never been here before”
(What’d he say to me)
“Give you six months you ain’t comin’ back no more”

Now the judge he was so cruel to me
And he would not let me go

Now I’m just sittin’ here in the jail
Thinking back on the country

They pick it like that…

Here another train on the track…
Go something like this…

Sometimes that train be going off the track though…

Go like this…

Tell me where you come from now?
Tell me where you come from now?
