I got in a fight in ol' Pecos town
And there I gunned a bigger bully down
A well the sheriff came a runnin' nobody set my bail
So they threw me back in to that Pecos jail
Way down where the floor is cold and the walls are dark
And very little sun comes in
And the sheriff's daughter brings me bread and water
Till I drop to a hundred and ten
But there's a funny little endin' to this tale
I think my future's in the Pecos jail
We fell in love the sheriff's daughter and me
One night little Suzy slipped me the key
Then she gave me a sweet kiss and I was San Antone bound
But my lips kept burnin' so I turned my horse around
Back to where the floor is cold and the walls are dark
And very little sun comes in
And the sheriff's daughter brings me bread and water
Till I drop to a hundred and ten
But there's a funny little endin' to this tale
I think my heart's found a future here in the Pecos jail
Slipped back in that jailhouse into Suzy's arms
Even in this cold cell she made me feel kinda warm
It's a sweet little Suzy that I'm thinkin' of
And in this jailhouse I found my true love
Way down where the floor is cold and the walls are dark
And very little sun comes in
And the sheriff's daughter brings me bread and water
Till I drop to a hundred and ten
But there's a happy little endin' to this tale
I think my future's here in the Pecos jail
Yeah I found my future here in the Pecos jail
