Merle Haggard’s 1968 hit song, somewhat autobiographical due to his own prison time for robbery. Capo 2, played out of C position.

You're welcome, Jim!
Mama tried, but ole Merle got tried -- and convicted -- but he managed to get a great song out of it!
BHO member Bob Smakula recorded a fine clawhammer version of this.
