Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I've been down so goddamn long
That it looks like up to me
Well, I've been down so very damn long
That it looks like up to me
Yeah, why don't one of you people
Come on and set me free?
[Verse 2]
I said, warden, warden, warden
Won't you break your lock and key?
I said, warden, warden, warden
Won't you break your lock and key?
Yeah, come along here, mister
Come on and let the poor boy be
[Verse 3]
Baby, baby, baby
Won't you get down on your knees?
Baby, baby, baby
Oh, won't you get down on your knees?
Come on, little darling
Come on, give your love to me
Oh yeah
[Verse 4]
Well, I've been down so goddamn long
That it looks like up to me
Well, I've been down so very damn long
That it looks like up to me
[Verse 5]
Yeah, why don't some of you people
Come on
Come on
Come on and set me free?
