"Covers Prison Blues" I hear the Looooooooooooooooot Train a comin' It's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when, I'm stuck in Covers prison, and time keeps draggin' on But that Loooot Train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone.. When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son, Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns. But I let the taters get the best of me and made them cry When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and sigh.... I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars. Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free But those people keep a movin' And that's what tortures me... Well if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line Far from Covers prison, that's where I want to stay And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away........ Looooooooooooooooot Loooooooooooooooooooooooooot! |
