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
