Why don`t you write write write me a letter send that letter by mail
Send that letter in care of the Tupelo County jail
Why don`t you send me the best of love dear there`s no one to go my bail
Never seen a place so lonely as the Tupelo County jail
Send that letter full of kisses over these prison walls
Cause baby kisses on paper are better than no kisses at all
I hear the freight train pass my window callin` me to ride the rail
Ball and chain gonna keep me in the Tupelo County jail
[ steel ]
Send that letter full of kisses...
