Willie Nelson may get out of drug charges - by singing in court

Willie Nelson could be singing on a much smaller stage -- in a courtroom.

Willie Nelson's pot possession case could end with a small concert ? in the courtroom.

The folk singer, who was busted for misdemeanor marijuana possession last November after Border Patrol found the drug on his tour bus in Texas, may get off easy, TMZ.com reported.

The prosecutor is reportedly willing to let Nelson off with a $100 fine and the court cost if he sings "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" inside the courtroom.

The song, the prosecutor said, would count as the community service Nelson would also have to serve after the minor drug bust.

"You can bet your a-- I'm not going to be mean to Willie Nelson," Hudspeth Country Attorney C.R. "Kit" Bramblett told CNN.

The final verdict lies in the judge's hands though. She has to sign off on the plea deal ? and for Nelson that might be a bit of a problem.

"My court is not a jester court," Judge Becky Dean-Walker said. "I understand that people are star struck, I'm not one of them."

This slight run-in with the law is hardly the first time Nelson's been buted. In 2006, he was issued a misdemeanor citation for possession of narcotic mushrooms and mariuana in Louisiana.
