I’ve Been In Jail Eleven Years And Parole Has Just Come Through
The Gates Will Soon Swing Open Wide But I’m Not Going Through
Jail’s The Only Home I Know Or Care To Know About
Please Let Me Stay Where I Belong Please Don’t Let Me Out
How Could I Tell Those Friends Of Mine They’ve Seen The Last Of Me
Can’t I Make You Understand I Never Can Be Free
Cause That’s A Big Unfriendly World And I Don’t Know The Route
That Leads To Where I May Belong Please Don’t Let Me Out
I Had To Learn To Get Along Without A Lot Of Things
And I Had To Learn To Live With The Loneliness Confinement Brings
And I Learnt To Take No Mail From Home Or Whatever Came About
Now I’m Dug In And I’m Happy Here Please Don’t Let Me Out
How Could I Tell Those Friends Of Mine…
Yes That’s A Big Unfriendly World…
