Raidin' Squad Blues

歌詞

It's too late, too late, too late, too late, too late It's too late, too late, too late, too late, too late People we're on our way to the hold-over and we cannot hesitate Mmmmm, these boards is killin' me Mmmmm, these boards is killin' me Say, I know I am a prisoner but I always wanted to be free When I was on my feet, I couldn't walk down the streets Well, the police lookin' at me from my head to my feet But, ohhh, now, these raids is killin' me See, I want my body buried, Lordy, down in Tennessee Mmmmm, these raids is killin' me Mmmmm, these raids is killin' me I got the raidin' squad blues, the holds-over is killin' poor me When the raid began, the people begin to squall When the raid began, the people begin to squall The sergeant say, "You needn't to squallin', the captain says to bring you all." When I had money my friends all ganged around When I had money my friends all ganged around Now I'm in these raids, my friends have all thrown me down
