lyrics

A long time ago, I was a-ramblin’ round
Like a rolling stone, from town to town
‘Cross the Bantha plains, amidst the North Dune Sea
Someone knocked me down, and arrested me

When I awoke, I was being held
By Imperial guards, in a prison cell
They say I killed a man, down Outer Kerner way
For a game of cards I aint ever played

So hear I’ll stay, in Oovo Jail
I aint got no one, for to go my bail
While the guilty man, is free to stray
I’ll spend the rest of my days, in Oovo Jail

The Cantina that day, well it was over run
By a thirsty crowed sheltered from the suns
Well the whiskey flowed, and the cards were hot
When a cheatin’ hand, was shadowed by a shot

Yes I was there, but I did not stay
So tell me Guards, how can it be?
That everybody there, came to agree
That the murderin’ man, looked a lot like me

So hear I’ll stay, in Oovo Jail
I aint got no one, for to go my bail
While the guilty man, is free to stray
I’ll spend the rest of my days, in Oovo Jail
