—The Monroe Brothers
Come all my friends, wherever you may be
And listen to my song
You're all to see I'm in the wrong
Cause all I've got's done gone
Chorus:
Six months ain't long, ain't long my dear
Six months, six months ain't long
Six months ain't long for me to be gone
Oh darling six months ain't long
If I was framed by an upright judge
For six long months of time
I'll do my best to make the test
Darling I'll be home soon
The judge he fixed the sentence here
And the clerk she wrote it down
Six months ain't long in the county jail
For shooting up the town
