Huntsville

• E

By Merle Haggard 
 
 
         E                     A 
That old white haired judge in Dallas 
       E      B7       E  
Didn't pay my story no mind 
        E                 A 
They're takin' me down to Huntsville 
    E             B7      E  
I'm bringin' in a load of time 
     E                           E7 
They caught me on a caper that I planned for days 
    A                   E 
And proved everything I done 
    E            A 
I'm on my way to Huntsville  
        E             B7        E   
But I'm looking for a chance to run 
 
 
My hands don't fit no choppin' pole 
And cotton never was my beg 
The man better keep both eyes on me 
Or they're gonna lose old Hag 
Hey there ain't so far to Mexico  
That I can?t find my way 
They're takin' me down to Huntsville 
But I'm not gonna stay 
 
Solo 
 
They got me chain and leg irons  
I guess they got a good excuse 
They know I'm gonna run the first chance 
I get cause they never gonna cut me loose 
And I really don't care if they shoot me down 
I'll never be free again 
I've got two long life terms to do  
Both runnin' end on end 
 
Yeah it ain't so far to Mexico  
That I can't find my way 
They're takin' me down to Huntsville 
But I'm not gonna stay
