Well it's Christmas in the jailhouse again
And I've been looking all around for a face to call a friend
It seems everybody in here has a better place to be
Putting logs on the fire and presents under the tree
Well you should listen to some of these stories that we have told
About the work we can't find and the women who have left us in the cold
It seems all them things we're promised like peace and harmony
They don't apply when you're doing time for B&E
But everybody deserves a Merry Christmas
It don't matter what stupid things you've done
Everybody deserves a Merry Christmas
So come on baby let's have ourselves some fun
Tell your momma I didn't mean a single word I said
About the funny way she walks or the watermelon size of her head
This time things will be different, of that there is no doubt
If she would just come on down here and bail me out
Because everybody deserves a Merry Christmas
It don't matter what stupid things you've done
Everybody deserves a Merry Christmas
So come on baby let's have ourselves some fun
Well I've traveled up and down and all across this land
I've seen the very best and the very worst of man
My brothers are the drifters, the beggars, and the thieves
And I believe that baby was born for the ones like these
And that's why everybody deserves a Merry Christmas
It don't matter what stupid things you've done
Everybody deserves a Merry Christmas
So come on baby let's have ourselves some fun
And I know you've heard this story every year when the cold rolls in
And that's why it's Christmas in the jailhouse again
