I know a boy, he was never blue,
                                 
now he lives in cellblock two.
                                    
I don't know just why he's blue,
       A7                        
Leroy, what'd you do?

CHORUS:
      D                                             
Well, Leroy's back in jail again.
A

  E                                           
I don't know why, why he's blue.

Went to the judge, said dig it, man, wail.

I'm here and I got Leroy's bail.

Judge said, son don't you tell me no tale..
                  A7
Leroy, he's gonna stay in jail.

CHORUS:

Now Leroy says, man you tried your best.

Now I'm here, gonna take a rest.

I've seen Minny, she's got the blues,
                    A7
she let you wear my long pointed shoes.

CHORUS:
      D                                             
Well, Leroy's back in jail again.

Now Leroy's  heart is a bowl of hate.

Leroy, he just can't go straight.

Tell my Minny, I can't keep my date,
                   A7
I'm gonna be about six months late.

CHORUS:
      D                                             
Well, Leroy's back in jail again.
