Arkansas State Prison |
| Na Na NaNaNa |
| NaNa NaNa NaNa |
| I’ve served time |
| 3 long years in Arkansas State Prison |
| To hear all about it |
| Come sit down and listen |
| I slaved the way |
| Pickin' cotton till I thought |
| My back was breakin' |
| 3 meals a day |
| All I ate was black eyed peas |
| And long cold cornbread |
| It was a night near |
| The time I spent there |
| More than once I felt a climy hand |
| Upon my shoulder |
| Mr. Death was |
| Telling me that |
| I’d never get a minute over |
| I was man |
| I refused to bring along |
| With Memphis Red |
| I buffered the guise |
| Madden tres |
| Better left unsaid |
| He insisted |
| But I resisted |
| He wouldn’t stop -- |
| I grabbed a shovel |
| And I opened up his head! |
| He wouldn’t stop -- |
| I grabbed a shovel |
| And I opened up his head! |
| All the guards took a good look |
| At what I done |
| At what I done -- then hey said |
| Say your prize boy, your race |
| Has been the run |
| Just for kicks |
| They set me free |
| And they brought the dogs |
| To hunt me down |
| And then the rains came |
| And heeled my scent |
| And my hiding place was never found |
| I was one they never found |
| Oooh, I was one they never found |
| No one knows how many they list as missin' |
| Ohhhh |
| I lie in deep in the fields at the |
