[Verse 1] WE'VE been DIGGING down DEEPER now for MORE than a decade HALF of a century These STONE and mortar walls are NOT fit to hold us in [Verse 2] And Jimmy, our jailer Comes 'round twice a week and And under the door frame Slides some hardtack to eat Then he laughs and inquires What'd you do to deserve this? But the hinges never quaver He just turns on his heels But still I reply [Instrumental] [Verse 3] I might die inside these walls For crimes I didn't commit Still I know she waits for me At least I thought she did You see, you see, you see [yelled] JACQueline was MINE 'Til her LOVER got CAUGHT in my sights And AS he lay lifeless at the FOOT of the stairs They TOOK me away from her BOUND in FETters [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Every hour wounds But the last one kills Every hour wounds But the last one kills
