Nine Pound Steel
Through these bars, I see the sun
I'm here because, the wrong I've done
My woman's needs, made me ashamed
I sold **, to provide her dignity like a man
(You see)
Now I've got to say good morning
To a nine-pound steel
(Listen to me now)
They got me working Like a slave, payin' for my mistake
I know someday, I'll be free
Please darling, oh honey wait for me
I've got to say good morning
To a nine-pound steel
(Good morning to that old nine-pound steel)
This old jail, is so cold
I need you darling, I need your love more and more
I know someday, someday I'll be free
Please darling, oh honey wait for me
Until I lay down this old nine, nine-pound steel
(Get so hard sometimes)
(Listen to me honey)
I'm coming home wait for me
I'm coming home wait for me
