| Somewhere on the hill?
|
| Chasing some poor criminal
|
| And I guess they’re out to kill
|
| Oh there must be shackles on his feet
|
| And mother in his eyes
|
| Stumbling through the Devil dark
|
| With the hound pack in full cry
|
| Have mercy on the criminal
|
| Who is running from the law
|
| Are you blind to the winds of change?
|
| Don’t you hear him anymore?
|
| Saying, «Lord you gotta help me
|
| Now I am never gonna sin again
|
| Take these chains from around my legs
|
| Sweet Jesus I’ll be your friend»
|
| Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam
|
| While you lie on a cold damp ground?
|
| Taking in the face of a rifle butt
|
| While the wardens hold you down
|
| And you’ve never seen a friend in years
|
| Oh it turns your heart to stone
|
| You jump the wall and the dogs run free
|
| And the grave gonna be your home
|
| Have mercy on the criminal
|
| Who is running from the law
|
| Are you blind to the winds of change?
|
| Don’t you hear him anymore?
|
| Saying, «Lord you gotta help me
|
| Now I am never gonna sin again
|
| Take these chains from around my legs
|
| Sweet Jesus I’ll be your friend»
|
| Have mercy on the criminal
|
| Who is running from the law
|
| Are you blind to the winds of change?
|
| Don’t you hear him anymore?
|
| Saying, «Lord you gotta help me
|
| Now I am never gonna sin again
|
| Take these chains from around my legs
|
| Sweet Jesus I’ll be your friend»
|
| Somewhere on the hill?
|
| Chasing some poor criminal |
