Clang bang clang   Went the big iron door   They put me in a cell   With a concrete floor   Nine other men in that cell with me   Moanin' their fate with destiny      Clang bang clang   Clang bang clang clang   Early in the mornin'   At the crack of dawn   They wake us to the tune of a bong bong bong   Line up for chow   Munchin' hard bread   Drinkin' black coffee with that noise in my head      Clang bang clang   Clang bang clang bang clang   The judge said to me, now boy   You had it
