Riot in Cell Block Number Nine |
July the second, it was 1963 |
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 # 9 |
The riot started down in cell block # 4 |
Spread like wild fire across the prison floor |
Scarface 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 # 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 # 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 # 9 |
