Riot in Cell Block #9 (Remastered 2018)

Riot in Cell Block #9 (Remastered 2018) - The Robins

On July the 2nd 1963

I serving time for armed robbery

4 o'clock in the morning I was sleepin' in my cell

I heard a whistle blow I heard somebody yell

There's a riot goin' on

There's a riot goin' on

There's a riot goin' on

Up in cell block no 9

The trouble started in cell block no 4

It spread like fire across the prison floor

I said "Come on boys get ready to run

Here comes the warden with a Tommy gun"

There's a riot goin' on

There's a riot goin' on

There's a riot goin' on

Up in cell block no 9

The warden said

"Come out with your hands up in the air

If you don't stop the riot

You're all gonna get the chair"

Scarface Jones said "It's too late to quit

Pass the dynamite 'cause the fuse is lit"

There's a riot goin' on

There's a riot goin' on

There's a riot goin' on

Up in cell block no 9

The 92nd hour the tear gas got our men

Crawled in our cells but every now and then

There's a riot goin' on

There's a riot goin' on

There's a riot goin' on

Up in cell block no 9
