E

I was fresh out of the service

A

It was back in ?82

E B A

I raised some Cain when I came back to town

E

I meant to be all I could be

A

Come home without a clue

E B E

Married Dawn and had to settle down

E

So I hired on at the prison

A

Guess I always knew I would

E B A

Just like my dad and both my uncles done

E

Worked on every cell block

A

Now, things're goin' good

E B E

Then they transferred me to Ellis Unit One

A B

Swing low

E A

Swing low

E A

Now, my daddy used to talk about them long nights at the walls

E B A

And how they used to strap ?em in the chair

E A

The kids down from the college and they'd bring their beer ?n all

E B A

When the lights went out, a cheer rose in the air

E

I guess folks just got too civilized

A

Old Sparky's gatherin' dust
