Grateful Dead — Viola Lee Blues lyrics

Lyrics

The judge decreed it, the clerk, he wrote it Clerk, he wrote it down indeed
Judge decreed it, clerk he wrote it down
If you miss jail sentence you’ll be Nashville bound
Some got six months, some got one solid
Some got one solid year indeed
Some got six months, some got one solid year
But me and my buddies we all got lifetime here
I wrote a letter, I mailed in the air
Mailed it in the air indeed
Wrote a letter, I mailed in the air
You may know by that l, I’ve got a friend somewhere
