I've been a b-bad boy baby

I've been a bad boy all night long - oh yes I have,

Yes, I've been a bad boy honey,

I've been a bad boy all night long,

That woman, she don't even let me,

She did not even telephone.

I'm gonna leave my little honey,

Like a rabbit leaves the hole,

A-ow-ah leave my little honey baby,

Just like that little bunny rabbit leaves the hole,

I got a weasel in my pocket,

I'm gonna stick that weasel down my mamma,

I'm gonna stick it down that little hole.

{solo}

I'm never gonna get out of this prison babay,

The only way I get out is climb over the wall,

Oh baby, the only way out is that I get a ladder

and climb over the wall

Well I can't climb the ladder baby,

'Cause I'm afraid that I, that I might fall.

Come on yeah!

I'm staying in this Folsom prison honey,

Yeah, I'm gonna stay in this prison till the day that I day,

Oh, I'll stay in Folsom prison baby,

Oh, till the day, until the day that I die,

Hear more, I'm gonna kill nobody,

Oh my baby you know, you know that I'm staying alive

{outro}

'Cause I know baby, that's gonna be a great big lie,

(You know I'm livin' in this F-Fol' prison)
