Penitentiary |
| I Hid a batch in frisco |
| I Couldn’t score a job |
| So I did the next best thing and I learned how to rob |
| I took that train to Houston |
| But I couldn’t get away |
| From the five and dime about the time |
| The constable would say |
| Come on down |
| To the Penitentiary |
| Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me |
| Playing stud in the evening |
| The solitary night |
| Leon has the cigarettes and Capone has got the light |
| Now I’m shifting squares with a man from Arkansas |
| He took my rook oh lord and my kings about to fall |
| Come on down |
| To the Penitentiary |
| Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me |
| And I’m calling from a pay phone |
| Down around Lawrence bend |
| Got me a pardon son |
| Gonna do it all again |
| Come on down |
| To the Penitentiary |
| Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me |
| Come on down |
| To the Penitentiary |
| Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me |
