Six Months Ain't Long

Six months ain’t long for me to be gone

Six months six months ain’t long

Six months ain’t long for me to be gone

5 1

Oh darlin’ six months ain’t long

Come all of my friends wherever you may be

And listen to my song

You’re all to see I’m in the wrong

‘Cause all I’ve got’s done gone

If I’d-a been framed by an upright judge

For six long months of time

I’ll do my best to make the test

And darlin’ I’ll be home soon

The judge he fixed a sentence here

The clerk he wrote it down

Six months ain’t long in the county jail

For shootin’ up this town
