I know a boy who was never blue
Now he lives in cellblock two
I don't know just why he's blue
leroy whatd you do

Leroys back in jail again -2-
I don't know why, why he's blue
leroy whatd you do

Went to the judge, dig man wail
I'm here and I got leroys bail
Judge said son, don'tcha tell me no tale
leroy, he's gonna stay in jail

Now, leroy says man, you tried the best
Man, I'm here gonna take a rest
I've seen minny, she's got the blues
she let you wear my long pointed shoes

Now, leroys heart is a bowl of hate
Leroy, he just can't go straight
Tell my minny, I can't keep my date
I'm gonna be bout six months late
