  			D     A     D     G          D           A          D   
Cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail 

D                A             D               G 
Somebody help me please I'm as helpless as can be 
      D                  E7             A 
And I don't know what my life is comin' to 
     D            A         D            G 
They say I shot a man but I never shot I ran 
     D               E7               A 
That was my first mistake I'm telling you 
A7      D           A          D                      A          D   
Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail 
                A     D     G          D           A          D 
Yeah it's cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail 

I got a wife in Wichita and a girl in Saginaw 
And they both ain't heard from me in some time 
I hate to disappoint 'em both but some feller under oath 
Said I did it and they believed his story not mine 

Chorus 

Snow's all over the ground there ain't one robin around 
That I'd trust to carry a message to a friend 
Guess I'll just stay here till spring sure wish I knew what's spring 
They'd let me out so I can start again 

Chorus
