Lyrics

Cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

Somebody help me please

I'm as helpless as I can be

And I don't know what my life is comin' to

Now they say that I shot a man

Well I never shot I ran

And that was my first mistake I'm telling you

Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

Well it's cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

I got a man in Wichita and a man in Saginaw

And they both ain't heard from me in some time

I hate to disappoint them both but some feller under oath

Said I did it and they believed his story not mine

Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

Well it's cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

There's snow all over the ground

And there ain't one robin around, that I'd trust to carry a message to a friend

I guess I'll just stay here till spring

I sure wish I knew what spring

They'd let me out so I can start again

Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail, yeah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

Well it's cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

Well it's cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
