i know a boy who was never blue
now he lives in cellblock two
i don’t know just why he’s blue
leroy what’d you do
leroy’s back in jail again
leroy’s back in jail again
i don’t know why why he’s blue
leroy what’d you do
went to the judge dig man wail
i’m here and i got leroy’s bail
judge said son don’t cha 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 leroy’s 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
