Oakland, New York to Marseilles
Pigs on my trail,
Hey, I got to make my getaway.
Ah, when the man holler
You sure got to jump boy

You got to jump bail
When the man hollers now

First fair trial, hey,
And then they put you back in jail.

Oh yeah!
Alright !
Hey now I can remember
A-seein' my picture

On the post-office wall.

On the post-office wall.

That the F.B.I. called.

Cool it for a couple a years.
