Capo 1 
 
 
          D                                                     G 
He was an old black country farmer driving home another load of hay 
        A                                        D 
When he came upon an accident on a lonely county highway 
         D    
He could hear a baby cryin?, see the folks as they lay dyin? 
                                   G 
And the mother said with her final breath 
    A 
The baby has no kin, won?t you please take him in 
                                    D 
Give him love and give him all your best 
 
So he took him to the big house where he worked as a sharecropper 
From that day on he never was alone 
And when the little white boy cut his hand from picking berries 
He came runnin?, cryin? to Mr. Jones 
 
Chorus: 
       D                           G 
I?m in trouble come and get me Mr. Jones 
           D                                         D 
You?re the only one to help me in this world, I?m so alone 
      D                           G  
Yes I love you and I need you Mr. Jones 
       D                A          D 
I?m in trouble come and get me Mr. Jones 
 
 
Capo up to 2 (up ? step) 
 
He grew up and got in trouble with the law and on the double 
Soon his name was known throughout the land 
He robbed in Dallas, killed a man in Oklahoma 
Each time he?d take the phone up in his hand 
Each time the county sheriff, a part of Mr. Jones would die 
And from his eyes the tears began to run 
And he?d begin to pray that he?d live to see the day 
He?d hold the boy he raised just like a son 
 
Chorus 
 
Capo up to 3 
 
One Saturday night as he lay in jail 
From fightin? and just raisin? hell 
That Saturday mornin? he picked up the phone 
And as the telephone was ringin? 
Back home a church choir was singin? 
?I?m goin? home? for Mr. Jones 
And when the choir stopped singin? 
Well, the telephone it just kept on ringin? 
And they slowly laid Mr. Jones to rest 
And there are those that say 
Well, Mr. Jones, he passed away 
From a broken heart and just plain unhappiness 
 
Chorus
