Jail Bait Blues — текст песни (Taylor Big)

Tell me little Darling, what I`m gonna do.
I got myself in trouble, and it come from lovin` you.
You deceived me, you fooled me so,
You was just a young girl all dressed in woman`s clothes.
Met you in a tavern, seen you there before
False ID and mature good looks what got you through that door.
I was so lonely, and you comed on so strong,
You followed me home to my place - we loved there all night long.
Then come Sunday morning, policemen at my door,
Your Daddy swore a warrant out, its me they lookin` for.
They frisked and cuffed me, up against the wall
Said I stood accused of breakin` statuatory law.
You had your time with many a man, while you were seventeen,
It`s not because of innocence lost that you reported me.
Said you`d drop all charges, for a thousand dollar sum,
But I could not afford to, even bail out and run.
I got you drunk on liquor you gave me all the blame,
In court you couldn`t shed tears enough to wash away your shame.
And the D. A. attorney, she told them at that trial,
This court has a duty to protect an innocent child.
Tell me little Darling, what I`m gonna do
They`re sending me up to the county farm to spend a year or two.
You have destroyed a good man`s life,
So all you men in earshot, adhere to this advice:
Don`t let some little girl persuade,
It ain`t worth doing time for jail bait.
