| It was Christmas in Prison and the food was real good,
|
| We had turkey and pistols carved out of wood.
|
| And I dream of her always even when I don’t dream,
|
| Her name’s on my tongue, and her blood’s in my strain.
|
| Chorus:
|
| Wait awhile Eternity,
|
| ol' Mother Natures got nothing on me,
|
| Come to me, run to me, come to me now,
|
| We’re rolling my sweatheart, were flowing, by God.
|
| She reminds me of a chess game with someone I admire,
|
| Or a picnic in the rain after a prairie fire,
|
| And her heart is as big as this whole ***damn jail,
|
| She’s sweeter than saccarin at a drug store sale.
|
| Chorus
|
| Wait awhile Eternity,
|
| ol' Mother Natures got nothing on me,
|
| Come to me, run to me, come to me now,
|
| We’re rolling my sweatheart, were flowing, by God.
|
| The searchlight in the big yard swings round with the gun,
|
| And spotlights the snowflakes like the dust in the sun.
|
| It’s Christmas in Prison, there’ll be music tonight,
|
| I’ll probably get homesick,
|
| I love you, goodnight.
|
| Chorus
|
| Wait awhile Eternity,
|
| ol' Mother Natures got nothing on me,
|
| Come to me, run to me, come to me now,
|
| We’re rolling my sweatheart, were flowing, by God. |
