Draw in your cell, draw in your cell
This ain't heavenly cell
Locked behind the prison wall, oh yeah
Chink a bite and roach a crawl
I've seen men big and small, yeah
Some stand firm while some bow and fall
And so, I remember the days of penitentiary
When no one seemed to show no sympathy
And I wasn't looking for none
I remember the days of G.P., ooh-wee
A prisoner's prayer was to be free (Lord)
Government say one corn, please don't give me two, no
Tribulation we must pass through
And there is one thing I won't deny, yeah
I'm a man who can satisfy
And so, I remember the days of penitentiary
When no one seemed to show no sympathy
And I wasn't looking for none, yeah
I remember the days of G.P., ooh-wee
Only walls that I could see (Yeah)
Draw in your cell, draw in your cell, yeah
This ain't heavenly cell
I remember, oh yes I remember, Lord
ย
And the place that I dwell, yeah
Was an old iron gate cell
And every morning at ten o'clock
Every man was getting ready to do the jailhouse rock
And so, I remember the days of penitentiary
When no one seemed to show no sympathy
And I wasn't looking for none
I remember the days of G.P., ooh-wee
Only walls that I could see
A prisoner's prayer was to be free (Yeah)
I remember, oh yes I remember, Lord
Memories of them lonely days
It's like a calling
ย
Days of penitentiary
Was nothing for me
ย
I remember, oh yes I remember, Lord
Never will I ever forget
