This a very simple version.  The recording from 'Live At Gerdes Folk City' is
extremely complex, but these are the basic chords.

Along came the sheriff from Thomasville 
Says "Young man, aint' your name Brown? 
Remember the night you blowed Sadie down?"

First degree and the second degree 
Got any papers woould you read 'em to me

Put me on the train and sent me back 
Sent me back to the county jail

The judge held the paper in his right hand
Forty-one days, forty-one nights 
Forty-one years to wear the ball and stripes
