Willie Jones - Bobby Bare
Willie Jones was a man I met
When I lived in Baltimore

I was a guard
And he was doing time

In the three long years he stayed there
I got to know him well

Willie Jones was a friend of mine

He used to say buddy you know
Where I'm goin' when they let me out of here

Alabama could be heaven if the Lord was there

And he talked about the southland
Though he'd drifted from its shore

I never seen a man who loved it more

He talked about the whippoorwills in the Alabama night

Honeysuckle vine
And sugar cane

Swimming holes
And fishing poles
And early morning frost

And sleeping under a tin roof when it rained

He talked about a country road
And a cabin in the pines
And a girl with wavy long chestnut brown hair

He talked about the beauty
Of his Blue Ridge Mountain home

And damn near made me think that I was there

And he'd say buddy you know
Where I'm goin' when they let me out of here

Alabama could be heaven if the Lord was there

When a man ain't got no freedom

The time sure passes slow

Willie Jones had ten long years to go

It's been almost a years now
Since that hot night in July

Willie hit the guard
And jumped the fence

I had my rifle ready but I couldn't let it fly
I shot over his head
And we ain't seen him since

Then last week the postman
Brought a letter to my door

Marked no return address and no reply

It just said nobody north of Birmingham
Is gonna see this boy again

But if you're ever down our way
Won't you please drop by

Buddy you know where I'm going
When they let me out of here

Alabama could be heaven if the Lord was there
And he talked about the southland
Though he'd drifted from its shore

I never seen a man who loved it more
