Low-light moonlight comes through my window But these steel bars spoil the view You know that jailer thinks I'm guilty He don't know that I'm passing through Ain't no service in this prison Ain't no women I can see Doin' my time now, I been waiting For that jailer, set me free Lord that jailer, walks around here Like he owns my very soul You know that jailer's got the key Be so easy, let me go
