Jailhouse Rocking |
Jailhouse rocking… jailhouse rocking |
Prisoner chanting cause thay want to come out |
It’s been a long time |
My brothers and my sisters |
I’ve been taken away for such a long time |
Locked behind the bars in Spanish town |
Locked behind the bars in Richman farm |
Locked behind the bars in Fort Augustus |
Said I know what you’re going through |
Said I know what you’re feeling too |
Though I know a lot of you are innocent |
Serving the time of a convicted prisoner |
Jailhouse rocking… jailhouse |
Prisoners chanting for they want to come out |
Jailhouse rocking. |
jailhouse |
Look and take a stock |
So when the youths come check you for work to do |
The reply is tellin' them «I can’t help you» |
Look upon their feet, not even a shoe to wear |
Look upon their rainment, all you see is tear |
How do you think they gonna survive |
Guess you should have known by now |
They’ll be robbin, stabbin, looting in the street |
And I know each and veryone needs to eat |
They’ll be robbin, stabbin, shootin all over |
And I tell you that it happens on the corner |
Jailhouse rocking… jailhouse rocking |
Look and take a stock |
So many times jailers guys come down on you all |
With their baton stick and a whole lot of licks |
Jailhouse rock… jailhouse rock… jailhouse rock |
Prisoners chanting for they want to come out |
Jailhouse rocking… jailhouse rocking |
Prisoner chanting cause thay want to come out |
It’s been a long time |
My brothers and my sisters |
I’ve been taken away for such a long time |
Locked behind the bars in Spanish town |
Locked behind the bars in Richman farm |
Locked behind the bars in Fort Augustus |
Said I know what you’re going through |
Said I know what you’re feeling too |
Though I know a lot of you are innocent |
Serving the time of a convicted prisoner |
Jailhouse rocking… jailhouse |
Prisoners chanting for they want to come out |
Jailhouse rocking. |
jailhouse |
Look and take a stock |
So when the youths come check you for work to do |
The reply is tellin' them «I can’t help you» |

And I know each and veryone needs to eat |
