Now, you either [F#] are his friend or you are not his friend.
_ [G#] And I thankfully am his friend.
I had an engagement in Toronto, a three-day engagement,
and I called Waylon just before I was leaving to catch a plane.
I said, my guitar player, I just found out, he said, oh, can't go.
You know, anybody I could take to [F] Toronto to play guitar for me for three days.
I called Reggie Young and a couple of other people in the unit, couldn't go.
And Waylon said, I'll find you somebody and call you back as soon as you get to Toronto.
_ Well, I called Waylon back, or he called me when I got to Toronto,
and I said, did you find me a guitar player?
And he said, yeah.
And I said, who is it?
And he said, me.
_ I said, you got a big kid.
And I said, you know, I knew he could do it.
He could play Luther Perkins [N] or _ anybody's style on the guitar.
And he had played for me sometimes.
We were just fooling around, you know.
I said, Waylon, I can't do that.
I said, I can't.
Waylon Jennings playing guitar for me, I can't do that.
And he said, would you do it for me?
And I said, yeah.
And he said, well, I'm doing it for you.
And it's a thing that _ I never forget as a friend.
There's nothing I wouldn't do for [A] Waylon.
_ [C#] This is all me and John did when we were just children.
[A] When Waylon and I are doing Ain't No Good Scene Gang,
we're brothers in prison somewhere down in Mississippi,
about three minutes.
_ _ And we understand each other. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ It ain't a raining back home.
_ _ I bet your sister's still on the phone.
_ _ [D] I bet mama's in the kitchen, _ [A] cooking [F#] fried chicken,
[D] wishing [E] that I hadn't [A] done wrong.
Hey! _
But don't you worry about us, mama.
We'll be all right.
_ They're taking good care of us in here.
Just the other day, the warden came to me and he said,
I hear you got a turkey for Christmas.
_ And I said, I ain't never touched a turkey in my life.
You. _
_ _ _ I said, what happened to it?
He said, a guard got it.
I went to that guard and I said, did you get my turkey?
And he said, yeah, I got your turkey, so what?
And I said, you got your turkey, didn't you?
_ _ There ain't no good in an evil heart anymore.
_ And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James.
_ [D] And you don't go writing heart checks [A] down [F] in [F#m] Mississippi.
And [A] there [G] ain't no [C] good [A] scene gang. _

_ _ _ [D] I bet he's a wishing [A] mama'd stay [F#m] in the kitchen.
[D] Here I [E] am a laying [A] J. _ _
_ Don't you worry about us, mama.
We'll do all right.
_ I was hanging around the fence the other day and this guard came up to me and he said,
what are you hanging around here for?
And I said, for whatever's going around, I'll have some.
He said, you're a smart aleck, ain't you?
And I said, no, sir, I just didn't have any breakfast.
_ _ I just get that way sometime during the day.
_ There ain't no good in an evil heart anymore. _ _
And I ain't cut out to be no Frank James.
_ [D] And you don't go writing heart checks [A]
[F] down in [F#] Mississippi.
[D] And there [Em] ain't no [C] good [A] scene gang.
