Penitentiary

Penitentiary (监狱) - Houndmouth

Album: From the Hills Below the City

I Hid a batch in frisco

I Couldn't score a job

So I did the next best thing

And I learned how to rob

I took that train to Houston

But I couldn't get away

From the five and dimeabout the time

The constable would say

Come on down

To the Penitentiary

Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me

Playing stud in the evening

The solitary night Leon has the cigarettes

And Capone has got the light

Now I'm shifting squares with a man from Arkansas

He took my rookoh lord and my kings about to fall

Come on down

To the Penitentiary

Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me

And I'm calling from a pay phone

Down around Lawrence bend

Got me a pardon son Gonna do it all again

Come on down To the Penitentiary

Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me

Come on down To the Penitentiary

Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me
