Prison Blues Lyrics

I've been a bad boy, baby
I've been a bad boy all night long
Oh yes, I have baby
Yes, I've been a bad boy, honey

I've been a bad boy all night long
That woman, she don't even let me
She did not even telephone me

I'm gonna leave my little honey
Like a rabbit leaves the hole
A-ow-ah, leave my little honey, baby
Just like that little bunny rabbit leaves the hole

I got a weasel in my pocket
I'm gonna stick that weasel down my mamma
I'm gonna stick it right down that little hole

I'm never gonna get out of this prison baby
The only way I get out is climb over the wall
Oh baby, the only way out is that I get a ladder
And climb over the wall

Well, I can't climb the ladder, baby
'Cause I'm afraid that I m-, that I might fall
Come on, yeah

I'm staying in this Folsom prison honey, baby
Yeah, I'm gonna stay in this Folsom prison till the day that I die
Oh, I'll stay in Folsom prison baby
Oh, till the day, until the day I die

Hear more, I never killed nobody
Oh, my baby you know, you know that I'm staying alive
'Cause I know baby, that's gonna be a great big lie
You know I'm livin' in this F-Fol' prison
