[00:05.60] Billy Rose was a low rider, Billy Rose was a night fighter
[00:10.47] Billy Rose knew trouble like the sound of his own name
[00:16.72] Busted on a drunken charge
[00:19.20] Driving someone else's car
[00:21.66] The local midnight sheriff's claim to fame
[00:27.40] In an Arizona jail there are some who tell the tale how
[00:31.55] Billy fought the sergeant for some milk that he demanded
[00:37.72] Knowing they'd remain the boss
[00:40.27] Knowing he would pay the cost
[00:42.67] They saw he was severely reprimanded
[00:48.70]
[00:49.97] In the blackest cell on "A" Block
[00:54.43] He hanged himself at dawn
[00:59.35] With a note stuck to the bunk head
[01:04.39] Don't mess with me, just take me home
[01:05.40]
[01:09.28] Come and lay, help us lay
[01:13.60] young Billy down
[01:14.77]
[01:19.67] Luna was a Mexican the law called an alien
[01:23.90] For coming across the border with a baby and a wife
[01:30.20] Though the clothes upon his back were wet
[01:32.74] Still he thought that he could get
[01:35.18] Some money and things to start a life
[01:36.54]
[01:40.23] It hadn't been too very long when it seemed like everything went wrong
[01:45.12] They didn't even have the time to find themselves a home
[01:50.95] This foreigner, a brown-skin male
[01:54.41] Thrown into a Texas jail
[01:56.38] It left the wife and baby quite alone
[02:00.55]
[02:04.07] He eased the pain inside him
[02:08.26] With a needle in his arm
[02:13.12] But the dope just crucified him
[02:17.99] He died to no one's great alarm
[02:20.02]
[02:22.90] Come and lay, help us lay
[02:27.27] Young Luna down
[02:33.35] And we're gonna raze, raze the prisons
[02:37.18] To the ground
[02:40.09]
[02:42.77] Kilowatt was an aging con of 65 who stood a chance to stay alive
[02:48.54] And leave the joint and walk the streets again
[02:53.24] As the time he was to leave drew near
[02:55.86] He suffered all the joy and fear
[02:58.21] Of leaving 35 years in the pen
[02:59.60]
[03:05.43] And on the day of his release he was approached by the police
[03:10.32] Who took him to the warden walking slowly by his side
[03:16.68] The warden said "You won't remain here
[03:19.12] But it seems a state retainer
[03:21.59] Claims another 10 years of your life."
[03:28.44]
[03:33.65] He stepped out in the Texas sunlight
[03:38.35] The cops all stood around
[03:39.64] Old Kilowatt ran 50 yards
[03:43.33] Then threw himself down on the ground
[03:47.53]
[03:52.50] They might as well just have laid
[03:55.55] The old man down
[03:57.70] And we're gonna raze, raze the prisons
[04:02.38] To the ground
[04:07.29] Help us raze, raze the prisons
[04:11.95] To the ground
