歌词

[00:13.02] I was fresh out of the service
[00:16.17] It was back in '82
[00:19.86] I raised some Cain when I come back to town
[00:27.21] I left to be all I could be
[00:29.85] Come home without a clue
[00:32.16] Now, I married Dawn and had to settle down
[00:40.05] So I hired on at the prison
[00:43.35] Guess I always knew I would
[00:46.89] Just like my dad and both my uncles done
[00:53.67] And I worked on every cell block now
[00:57.60] 'N things were goin' good
[01:00.57] But then they transferred me to Ellis Unit One
[01:11.82] Swing low
[01:15.12] Swing low
[01:15.69] Swing low and carry me home
[01:34.83] Well, my daddy used to talk about them long nights at the walls
[01:42.15] And how they used to strap 'em in the chair
[01:49.65] The kids down from the college and they'd bring their beer 'n all
[01:53.91] 'N when the lights went out, a cheer rose in the air
[02:02.85] Well, folks just got too civilized
[02:06.36] Sparky's gatherin' dust
[02:09.93] 'Cause no one wants to touch a smokin' gun
[02:17.07] And since they got the injection
[02:19.86] They don't mind as much, I guess
[02:23.52] They just put 'em down at Ellis Unit One
[02:31.38] Swing low
[02:38.19] Swing low
[02:38.79] Swing low and carry me home
[02:42.54] Well, I've seen 'em fight like lions, boys
[03:05.34] I've seen 'em go like lambs
[03:08.52] And I've helped to drag 'em when they could not stand
[03:15.45] And I've heard their mamas cryin' when they heard that big door slam
[03:22.50] And I've seen the victim's family holdin' hands
[03:26.28] Last night I dreamed that I woke up with straps across my chest
[03:36.87] And something cold and black pullin' through my lungs
[03:40.53] 'N even Jesus couldn't save me though I know he did his best
[03:50.91] But he don't live on Ellis Unit One
[03:58.35] Swing low
[04:05.13] Swing low
[04:05.73] Swing low and carry me home
[04:11.70] Swing low
[04:20.85] Don't let go
[04:21.09] Swing low and carry me home
