About Cell Block #9 |
Well I used to be an angel |
I guess my wings got torn |
For I ain’t seen nothing but bad luck and trouble |
Ever since that i’ve been born |
Ever since that i’ve been born |
I used to have a best friend |
And a girl for to be my bride |
I had everything that a man could want |
I believed i was satisfied |
I bleieved i was satisfied |
But as i came home one evening |
The moon was hanging high |
I felt something wrong, something must be going on and a black cat passed me by |
A black cat passed me by |
So i peeked on through my keyhole |
Now tell me what did i see? |
I saw my gal and my best friend |
In a bed that belonged to me |
A bed that belonged to me |
So i went and grabbed my shotgun |
You know how the story goes |
Gonna find me on a chain, digging ditches in the rain and i’ll be wearing them |
county clothes |
Wearing them county clothes |
Yes the jury found me guilty |
I heard that gavel sound |
And the only friend who would have thrown my bail |
Was six feet underground |
Six feet underground |
Oh Lord i’m feeling lowdown |
Got nothing to call mine |
Gonna spend my days, wasting all away |
In cell block #9 |
Cell block #9 |
