Jailhouse Fire |
| Did you see that lady there they stripped her to her underwear |
| She took it one step further and stripped to bare |
| Through the rising flames and smoke |
| She laughed as all the police choked |
| And then she danced in the government pyre |
| The jailhouse is on fire |
| The jailhouse is on fire |
| Grabbed a guard and stole his keys |
| Unlocked the cells and set us free |
| And we ran and caught our pants on the old barbed wire |
| We hit the dirt, we hit the road |
| We jumped the fence, we kissed a toad |
| And we hollared at the ladies in the churchyard choir |
| The jailhouse is on fire |
| The jailhouse is on fire |
| I hopped a train and headed west |
| Free woman now just like the rest |
| All the hobos on the line called me a liar |
| The train it puffed and spewed and spat |
| And coal smoke billowed thick and black |
| And she was everywhere and rising higher |
| She set the jailhouse on fire |
| She set the jailhouse on fire |
| She set the jailhouse on fire |
