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
