Back In My Home Town-Frank Hutchison
C position, standard tuning

SOLO

Started out, boys, to make a little run
Gonna bootleg and have some fun
REFRAIN: 'Way back in my home town

Went out on a Saturday night
Sell my liquor, I was feelin' tight
REFRAIN: 'Way back in my home town

SOLO

Standin' on the corner, didn't mean any harm
Along come a cop, then he took me by the arm
REFRAIN: 'Way back in my home town

Blowed his whistle and he rung the bell
Took me to the station like a bat out of hell
REFRAIN: Oh boys, in my home town

SOLO

Took me to the courthouse to give me a trial
Gimme thirty days on the big rockpile
REFRAIN: 'Way back in my hometown

Rocks was so hard they would not crack
You oughta saw the hammer do the ballin' jack
REFRAIN: 'Way back in my home town

SOLO

I can ball the jack, I can line a track
Do anything get my good gal back
REFRAIN: 'Way back in my home town

Here I lay, all back in jail
Got no one for to go my bail
REFRAIN: 'Way back in my home town

SOLO

"Jailer, jailer, I can't sleep
Around my bed these bedbugs creep."
REFRAIN: 'Way back in my home town

"Come on, mama, and go my bail.
Get me out of this buggy jail."
REFRAIN: 'Way back in my home town
