Well they're building a gallows outside my cell I've got
My bills are all due and the babies need shoes
But
Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot
Oh, come all you young fellers, young and so fine
Seek
Well, he's not very handsome to look at
Ohh, he's shaggy
From the back door of your life, you swept me
The old home town looks the same
As I step down
(Glen Sherley)
Inside the walls of prison my body may be
On a Monday, I was arrested, uh, huh
On a Tuesday,
We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper
Last time we were here at Folsom Prison, they were
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed
Look a-yonder comin', comin' down that railroad track
Hey, look a-yonder
After seven years behind these bars together
I'll miss you more
Theres a lot of strange men in cell block ten
But
