LEROY
(Jack Scott)

I know a boy who was never blue
Now he lives in cellblock two
I don't know just why he's blue... 
... Leroy... whatd you do

Leroys back in jail again
Leroys back in jail again
I don't know why, why he's blue... 
... Leroy... whatd you do

Went to the judge, dig man wail
I'm here and I got leroys bail
Judge said son, don'tcha tell me no tale... 
... Leroy, he's gonna stay in jail

Leroys back in jail again
Leroys back in jail again
I don't know why, why he's blue... 
... Leroy... whatd you do

Now, leroy says man, you tried the best
Man, I'm here gonna take a rest.
I've seen minny, she's got the blues... 
... She let you wear my long pointed shoes

Leroys back in jail again
Leroys back in jail again
I don't know why, why he's blue... 
... Leroy... whatd you do

Now, leroys heart is a bowl of hate
Leroy, he just can't go straight
Tell my minny, I can't keep my date... 
... I'm gonna be bout six months late

Leroys back in jail again
Leroys back in jail again
I don't know why, why he's blue... 
... Leroy... whatd you do
... Leroy... whatd you do
... Leroy... whatd you do
... Leroy
