[00:00.00]The Hostage (LP版) - Judy Collins
[00:04.21]I'm a guard in the great iron prison
[00:06.53]Where least I was 'till now
[00:08.72]It was never a picnic social
[00:10.68]Never a date
[00:13.11]They never come in laughing
[00:15.33]And you know they never taught them how
[00:17.57]It was d**n hard work
[00:18.69]And you wouldn't believe the pay
[00:22.06]It was early in the morning lord
[00:24.23]I wasn't but a half awake
[00:26.38]When the cons went nuts
[00:27.53]And took us by surprise
[00:30.86]I never was one for shaking
[00:33.14]But I found it hard to stand
[00:35.35]With a six inch blade
[00:36.46]Held right before my eyes
[00:39.85]We could hear a siren blowing
[00:42.11]And
[00:42.36]Somebody yelled in pain
[00:44.18]Then it got so quiet
[00:45.38]You could hear a bird walk by
[00:48.77]They all wan masks on their faces
[00:51.00]They spoke with a voice of cain
[00:53.15]If they come in shooting
[00:54.34]You know you're bound to die
[00:57.62]I turned to a buddy named willie
[00:59.79]I said willie it'll be all right
[01:02.11]If they meant to kill us
[01:03.27]We'd be half way down to hell
[01:06.64]See they high jacked a plane
[01:07.82]In the dessert
[01:08.90]And the government screamed and cries
[01:11.15]But to save some lives
[01:12.46]The opened up a prison cell
[01:15.63]So the days kept coming and going
[01:18.22]Tension was getting high
[01:20.14]But I wasn't too worried
[01:21.44]I figured I knew the score
[01:24.78]I knew they were talking to someone
[01:27.09]I knew they were willing to try
[01:29.29]So I figured my freedom
[01:30.50]Was a matter of a day or two more
[01:33.79]And Jesus early this morning
[01:36.31]The whirlybird dropped the gas
[01:38.63]It made me secound
[01:39.44]And it brought me to my knees
[01:43.21]Bullets came like hai stones
[01:45.42]I heard the first ones pass
[01:47.48]Then they cut down willie
[01:48.55]And they got jim kelly and me
[01:51.90]They come in yelling curses
[01:53.77]Like they were caught
[01:54.80]In the river rhine
[01:56.80]Shot down every
[01:57.90]God damned thing my saw
[02:01.10]And while I lay they wounded
[02:03.57]I took another one in my spine
[02:05.96]Poor jim kelly got
[02:07.07]Another one in his jaw
[02:10.25]They say we had our throats cut
[02:12.32]By a band of desperate men
[02:14.80]They say they saved
[02:15.90]Just as many of us they as they could
[02:19.18]Was a governor he should no it
[02:21.49]An I think I'll say it again
[02:23.78]That the governor
[02:24.50]Cut my throat and he cut it good
[02:28.02]Yea
[02:28.86]Let them take the governor
[02:30.30]Hold him for a couple of days
[02:33.01]See who goes in shooting to set him free
[02:36.63]Hell they'll open every
[02:37.97]Jail in the country
[02:39.74]Send them on their way
[02:41.81]They'd never do to him
[02:42.83]What the governor done to me
