《Sampson And The Warden (Lp Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Once I got locked up in a dirty old jail

[00:00:05] And the coffee was cold & the cornbread was stale

[00:00:10] And I didn't cry I tried to be brave

[00:00:14] Till the warden tried to give me a haircut & a shave

[00:00:21] Warden you can hold me for a year in your jail

[00:00:26] But don't shave off my beard Don't cut my ponytail

[00:00:32] All you really found was some stems & some seeds

[00:00:38] I'll give you my earring & I'll give you my beads

[00:00:43] I don't mind wearing one o your prison suits

[00:00:47] I'll give you my bell-bottoms & my cowboy boots

[00:00:55] Don't shave off my beard Don't cut off my hair

[00:00:59] It took me two years to grow it & it just isn't fair

[00:01:36] Listen to me warden won't you listen to me beg

[00:01:41] Chop off a toe a foot or take a whole leg

[00:01:46] I'm down on my knees man you're robbing my strength

[00:01:51] Take it easy warden won't you leave me some length

[00:01:56] I want a lawyer warden I want a priest

[00:02:01] Oh take it easy warden leave the moustache at least

[00:02:10] The warden didn't hear a single word that I said

[00:02:15] He took off all the hair on my face & on my head

[00:02:20] But one day someone's gonna come

[00:02:22] And gonna put up my bail

[00:02:25] And I'm gonna walk out of this dirty old jail

[00:02:29] And the warden who's the reason I'm sheddin my tears

[00:02:37] I'm gonna mail him in a snapshot in two or three years
