Arkansas State Prison

Na na nanana nana nana nana na na na na

I've served time

3 Long years in arkansas state prison

To hear all about it

Come sit down and listen

I slaved the way

Pickin' cotton till I thought

My back was breakin'

3 Meals a day

All I ate was black eyed peas

And long cold cornbread

It was a night near

The time I spent there

More than once I felt a climy hand

Upon my shoulder

Mr. Death was

Telling me that

I'd never get a minute over

I was man

I refused to brinh along

With memphis red

I buffered the guise

Madden tres

Better left unsaid

He insisted

But I resisted

He wouldn't stop

I grabbed a shovel

And I opened up his head!

He wouldn't stop

I grabbed a shovel

And I opened up his head!

All the guards took a good look

At what I done

At what I done

Then hey said

Say your prize boy, your race

Has been the run

Just for kicks

They set me free

And they brought the dogs

To hunt me down

And then the rains came

And heeled my scent

And my hiding place was never found

I was one they never found

Oooh, I was one they never found

No one knows how many they list as missin'

Ohhhh

I lie in deep in the fields at the

Arkansas state prison
