Viola Lee Blues Edited Version by The Grateful Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The judge decreed it
The clerk he wrote it
Clerk he wrote it down indeed-y
Judge decreed it
Clerk he wrote it down
Give you this jail sentence
You'll be Nashville bound

[Verse 2]
Some got six months
Some got one solid
Some got one solid year indeed-y
Some got six months
Some got one solid, yeah
But me and my buddies all got lifetime here

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
I wrote a letter, I mailed in the...
Mailed it in the air indeed-y
I wrote a letter, I mailed in the air
You may know by that I've got a friend somewhere
[Guitar solo]
