Riot in Cell Block #9 (Riot in Cell Block Number Nine) |
On July the second, 1953 |
I was serving time in Tahatchopee |
Four o’clock in the morning |
I was sleepin' in my cell |
I heard a whistle blow |
And I heard somebody yell |
There’s a riot goin' on |
There’s a riot goin' on |
There’s a riot goin' on |
Up in cell block number nine |
The trouble all started up in cell block #4 |
It spread like fire across the prison floor |
Warden came in with a big tommy gun |
Bang-bang-bang, tryin' to stop our fun |
The warden said, come out |
With your hands up in the air |
If you don’t stop this riot |
You’re all gonna get the chair |
Two-gun Mathilda said |
It’s too late to quit |
Pass the dynamite Molly |
'Cause man, this fuse is lit |
They called the state militia |
To help them win the fight |
Drove up to the prison |
In the middle of the night |
Each and every trooper |
He looked so tall and fine |
All the chicks went crazy |
Up in cell block number nine |
