[00:16.14]I hid a batch in frisco
[00:19.57]I couldn't score a job
[00:23.88]So I did the next best thing and I learned how to rob
[00:31.06]I took that train to Houston
[00:34.29]But I couldn't get away
[00:38.07]From the five and dime about the time
[00:42.10]The constable would say

[00:49.25]To the Penitentiary

[01:19.14]The solitary night
[01:22.91]Leon has the cigarettes and Capone has got the light
[01:30.56]Now I'm shifting squares with a man from Arkansas
[01:37.64]He took my rook oh lord and my kings about to fall
[01:46.12]Come on down
[01:48.65]To the Penitentiary
