Boston Jail

(الألبوم: Soul Of A Convict & Other Great Prison Songs - 1967)

Wino Skid Row Joe some on vegranci
They've got all kinds in the Boston jail now they've got me

In the county jail in old Boston they've got all kinds you see
From all walks of life they come all lost their liberty
Now some got wives just outside a waiting for their return
Long timers short timers and some a waiting to burn

Wino Skid Row Joe some on vegranci
They've got all kinds in the Boston jail now they've got me

Now some will say yesterday I really had the jack
But paper and pen got me locked in them checks come a bouncing back
And late at night when the lights go out they tell their tales of voe
About old friends and places they've been and where they'd like to go

Wino Skid Row Joe some on vegranci
They've got all kinds in the Boston jail now they've got me

But it's too late that one mistake condemns them to a cell
Where every dream's a forgotten thing and each day's a living hell
Listen guys if you're wise from this town you'll run
Or soon you'll find you're a pulling time in the jail in old Boston

Wino Skid Row Joe some on vegranci
They've got all kinds in the Boston jail now they've got me
Wino Skid Row Joe some on vegranci
They've got all kinds in the Boston jail now they've got me
