RIOT IN CELL BLOCK No. 9 |
| July the second, it was nineteen sixty-three |
| I was servin' time for armed robbery |
| Four o’clock in the mornin', I was layin' back in my cell |
| I heard the whistle blow then I heard somebody yell |
| There’s a riot goin' on There’s a riot goin' on There’s a riot goin' on Down in cell block number 9 |
| The riot started down in cell block number 4 |
| Spread like wild fire across the prison floor |
| Scar-face Jones said, «It's too late to quit» |
| Pass the dynamite 'cause the fuse is lit |
| There’s a riot goin' on There’s a riot goin' on There’s a riot goin' on Down in cell block number 9 |
| Y’all gotta stop that stuff goin' on over there |
| If ya don’t stop that riot, y’all gonna get the chair |
| I said, «Hey now boys, get ready to run |
| Here come the warden with an automatic gun» |
| There’s a riot goin' on There’s a riot goin' on There’s a riot goin' on Down in cell block number 9 |
| In the forty-seventh hour the tear gas |
| It got our men |
| We are all back in our cells |
| But every now and then |
| There’s a riot goin' on There’s a riot goin' on There’s a riot goin' on Down in cell block number 9 |
