Riot In Cell Block No. 9 (Remaster) - 吴尐少
On july the second 1953
I was serving time for armed robbery
Four o'clock in the morning I was sleeping in my cell
I heard the whistle blow then I heard somebody yell
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Up in cell block number nine
The riot started down in cell block number five
Spread like fire across the prison floor
I said ok boys get ready to run
Here come the warden with an automatic gun
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Up in cell block number nine
The warden said come on with you hands up the air
If you don't stop that riot you all gonna get the chair
Scarface jones said it's too late to quit
Pass the dynamite cause the fuse is lit
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Up in cell block number nine
In the forty seventh hour
The tear gas it got our men
We are all back in our cells
But every now and then
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Up in cell block 9
