I know a boy who was never blue
Now he lives in Cellblock Two
I don't know just why he's blue
Leroy, what'd you do?
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, dig man wail
I'm here and I got Leroy's bail
Judge said, "Son, don't cha tell me no tale
Leroy, he's gonna stay in jail"
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?
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
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?
Now, Leroy's 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
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?
Leroy, what'd you do?
Leroy, what'd you do?
Leroy, what'd you do?
Leroy!
