D     A     D     G          D           A          D  
Cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

D                A             D               G
Somebody help me please I'm as helpless as can be
      D                  E7             A
And I don't know what my life is comin' to
     D            A         D            G
They say I shot a man but I never shot I ran
     D               E7               A
That was my first mistake I'm telling you

Chorus:
A7      D           A          D                      A          D  
Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
                A     D     G          D           A          D
Yeah it's cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail

I got a wife in Wichita and a girl in Saginaw
And they both ain't heard from me in some time
I hate to disappoint 'em both but some feller under oath
Said I did it and they believed his story not mine

Chorus

Snow's all over the ground there ain't one robin around
That I'd trust to carry a message to a friend
Guess I'll just stay here till spring sure wish I knew what's spring
They'd let me out so I can start again
