Leroy, Originally written and recorded by Jack Scott. Used with permission and blessings.

lyrics

I know a boy who is never blue
Now he lives in cell block two
I don't know just why he's blue
Leroy, what'd you do?

Refrain:
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, said, "Dig, man, wail!
I'm here and I got Leroy's bail."
Judge said, "Girl, don'tcha tell me no tale.
Leroy, he gonna stay in jail!"

(Refrain)
(Sax Solo)

Now Leroy says, "Girl, you've tried the best.
Now I'm here gonna take a rest.
I've seen my Minnie, she's got the blues
She let you wear my long pointy shoes!"

(Refrain)
(Guitar Solo)

Now,Leroy's heart is a full of hate
Leroy he just can't go straight
Tell my Minnie, I can keep the date
I'm gonna be 'bout six months late

(Refrain)
Leroy... Leroy... Leroy...
Leroy
