	Bb	F7	Bb	F7	Bb	F7	Bb
Well, I	left my mot	el	room, down at	the	Starkville	Mot	el,

	F7	Bb	F7	Bb	F7	Bb	F7	Bb
	The	town had gone	to	sleep and I	was	feelin'	fairly	well.

	Bb7	Eb	Bb7	Eb	Bb7	Eb	Bb7	Eb
	I st	rolled along	the	sidewalk 'neath	the	sweet magnol	ia t	rees;

	F7	Bb	F7	Bb	F7	Bb	F7	Bb
I	was	whistlin', pick	in'	flowers, swayi	n'	in the	southern	breeze.

	F	C7	F	C7	F	C7	F
I	found myself	surr	ounded; one	pol	iceman said: "	That's	him.

	Eb	Bb7	Eb	Bb7	Eb	Bb7	E
	Come along,	wild	flowerchild. Don't	you	know that it's two	a.m	."

	E7	F
They're bound	to	get you.

	E7	E
Cause they got	a	curfew.

	F#7	F	Eb	Ddim	F7	Bb
And you go	to the	Stark	ville	City	jail.

2. Well, they threw me in the car and started driving into town;

I said: "What the hell did I do?" He said: "Shut up and sit down."

Well they emptied out my pockets, took my pills and guitar picks.

I said: "Wait, my name is..." "Aw shut up." Well I sure was in a fix.

The sergeant put me in a cell, then he went home for the night;

I said: "Come back here, you so and so; I ain't bein' treated right."

Well they're bound to get you, cause they got a curfew,

And you go to the Starkville City Jail.

3. I started pacin' back and forth, and now and then I'd yell,

And kick my forty dollar shoes against the steel floor of my cell.

I'd walk awhile and kick awhile, and all night nobody came.

Then I sadly remembered that they didn't even take my name.

At 8 a.m. they let me out. I said: "Gimme them things of mine!"

They gave me a sneer and a guitar pick, and a yellow dandelion.

They're bound to get you, cause they got a curfew,

And you go to the Starkville City Jail.
