Did you see that lady there they stripped her to her underwear |
|
She took it one step further and stripped to bare through the rising flames |
|
And smoke she laughed as all the police choked |
|
And then she danced in the government pyre the jailhouse is on fire |
|
She grabbed a guard and stole his keys unlocked the cells |
|
And set us free and we ran and caught our pants |
|
On the old barbed wire we hit the dirt |
|
We hit the road we jumped the fence |
|
We kissed a toad and we hollared at the ladies |
|
In the churchyard choir the jailhouse is on fire |
|
I hopped a train and headed west free woman |
|
Now just like the rest all the hobos on the line called me a liar |
|
The train it choked and spewed and spat and coal smoke billowed thick |
|
And black and she was everywhere and rising higher she set the jailhouse on fire |
