1
I'm sittin' in Knoxville Courthouse
2
Ain't got a thing to do
3
I don't wanna go to the movies
4
Couldn't if I wanted to, I'm on trial for lovin' you
5
Now this all started in a honky tonk
6
Just the other side of town
7
A girl come in took a stool by me
8
Ordered gin and drank it down
9
She lit up a cigarette and turned around
10
Well, she said my name is Jeannie
11
And asked me what was mine
12
I answered Hank and I walked
13
To the jukebox droppin' a dime
14
I looked at her short dress low neck line
15
Well, we danced for five or ten minutes
16
And I held her close to me
17
Kissed her lips and squeezed her hips
18
And judged about twenty-three
19
Whispered in my ears, I said, "Yes siree"
20
Now the scene is a little motel
21
Out on the state highway
22
And there's a room for two
23
Love is about to take place
24
And a state trooper breaks down the door
25
Shines a flash light in my face
26
I said, "What the hell is this"
27
And another man and woman come in
28
And the girl I'm with starts cryin' and screamin'
29
And she runs over to them
30
Said, "Thank God you're here
31
He tried to hurt me mama"
32
I said now you don't mean
33
The cop says, "Son the girl is seventeen"
34
So that's why I'm in Knoxville courthouse
35
And the judge passed sentence on me
36
And it's ten long years for statutory rape
37
In the state penitentiary
38
Lord, I can't believe this is happened to me
39
So when next time you give a girl the eye
40
She gives you that certain smile
41
Just remember under that woman's breast
42
May beat the heart of a child
43
Don't you let yourself be the one
44
To help a mixed up kids go wild
45
This story happened a lot that's true
46
But you better hope and pray it never happens to you
