This might help a bit:

2. ... come to Memphis (3x)
Oh, Lordy, and got put in jail.

5. Oh, wasn't I lucky (3x)
Oh, Lordy, when I got my time?

9. The Judge said: Go 'way, gal (3x)
Oh, Lordy, your man in the....

12. Did you hear 'bout Buddy Rogers? (3x)
Oh, Lordy, got a hundred years.

I'm not sure, but I think the missing phrase in verse 2 might be a person's name, or two people's names: "—— and ——".

Arthur Bell singing: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO NASHVILLE

Many words I can't get, please help.
This is what I can get:

Have You Ever Been To Nashville?
Arthur Bell

Down in Alabama
Down in Alabama
Down in Alabama, Oh Lordy
I was born and raised

… Memphis
… Memphis
… Memphis, Oh Lordy
…

Have you ever been to Nashville
Have you ever been to Nashville
Have you ever been to Nashville, Oh Lordy
Nashville Pen?

If you don't be careful
If you don't be careful
If you don't be careful, Oh Lordy
Going back again

…
…
…, Oh Lordy
When I got my time

My buddy got a hundred
My buddy got a hundred
My buddy got a hundred, Oh Lordy
I got ninety-nine

Yonder come Corrina
Yonder come Corrina
Yonder come Corrina, Oh Lordy
Tryin' to get me free

She asked the Judge
She asked the Judge
She asked the Judge, Oh Lordy
Let my man be

The Judge said: Go 'way, gal
The Judge said: Go 'way, gal
The Judge said: Go 'way, gal, Oh Lordy
…

She left away cryin'
She left away cryin'
She left away cryin', Oh Lordy
'Bout her man

I'm going back to Memphis
I'm going back to Memphis
I'm going back to Memphis, Oh Lordy
Gonna do my time

Did you ever …
Did you ever …
Did you ever …, Oh Lordy
Got a hundred years
