Well, judge looked down gave me forty days

Instead of the fine that I could not pay

Said walk right you’ll soon be home

Cross the line and you’re on your own

Forty days

[Chorus]

of shotguns and barbed wire fences

Forty nights to sit an listen, to the midnight train to Memphis

Head to floor keep your big mouth shut

Eat your breakfast on the ground

Work like hell ‘til the sun goes down

Forty days

Well now, 10 for the jury 10 for the judge

20 more to forget my grudge

Forty days

Forty nights to sit an listen, to the midnight train to Memphis
