As I look around me at unfamiliar faces my mind
goes back to my boyhood days And the lust and the
crazy far off places Oh the simple country boy to
a life of disgrace I was raised on a farm way down
in Louisiana down where the sweet magnolias grow
Just me and Mud and mama and papa little blue eyed
Judy who lived down the road I got Judy in trouble
in the early days of summer Oh she and mama cried
and begged me not to go Later on someone told me
Mud and Judy got married And they had a little
girl with hair shining gold I drank and I gambled
and I knew many women I lived too fast for a boy

the very first time I had ever far to go Mud came
to see me last Sunday morning He said Judy and the
baby were waiting outside His eyes filled with
tears when I asked about mama He said mama's
heart's been broken she just laid down and died I
hear a cell door open soon it will be over I'll
have to pay for the wrongs I have done To Mud and
Judy and mama and papa And I'll hope you'll
remember this when you're 21 And I'll hope you'll
remember this when you're 21
