Back Home in Huntsville Again

Open the gates up hey

Screw did you miss me Jimmy

I see that you found a new friend

Warden come down here and kiss me hello

Cause I'm back home in Huntsville again

This suit that I'm wearing cost two hundred dollars

But I got it free with a three dollar knife

I got tailor made shirts

With them long pointy collars

And all it's gonna cost is ten years of my life

So open the gates up hey

Screw did you miss me Jimmy

I see that you found a new friend

Warden come down here and kiss me hello

Cause I'm back home in Huntsville again

I've been rousted and turned out

At three in the morning

I've been roughed up and shook down

And stood on my ear

I've tried to find work

But they called me a jailbird

So I went for the bundle

And I've wound up back here

So open the gates up hey

Screw did you miss me Jimmy

I see that you found a new friend

Warden come down here and kiss me hello

Cause I'm back home in Huntsville again

I found me a woman

As warm as the sunshine took her

A year to slip out of her dress

She talk about havin' a little

Rose covered cottage

But roses cost money

And you know the rest

So open the gates up hey

Screw did you miss me Jimmy

I see that you found a new friend

Warden come down here and kiss me hello

Cause I'm back home in Huntsville again

Yes I'm back home in Huntsville again
