The Hostage - Judy Collins[00:00:00]

I'm a guard in the great iron prison at least I was 'till now[00:00:03]

It was never a picnic social never a date[00:00:08]

They never come in laughing and you know they never taught them how[00:00:12]

It was damn hard work and you wouldn't believe the pay[00:00:17]

It was early in the morning lord I wasn't but a half awake[00:00:21]

When the cons went nuts and took us by surprise[00:00:26]

I never was one for shaking but I found it hard to stand[00:00:30]

With a six-inch blade held right between my eyes[00:00:35]

We could hear a siren blowing and somebody yelled in pain[00:00:39]

Then it got so quiet you could hear a bird walk by[00:00:44]

They all had masks on their faces and they spoke with a voice of cain[00:00:48]

If they come in shooting then you know you're bound to die[00:00:53]

I turned to a buddy named willie I said willie it'll be all right[00:00:57]

If they meant to kill us we'd be half way down to hell[00:01:02]

See they high-jacked a plane in the dessert and the government screamed and cries[00:01:06]

But to save some lives they opened up a prison cell[00:01:11]

So the days kept coming and going tension was getting high[00:01:15]

But I wasn't too worried I figured I knew the score[00:01:20]

I knew they were talking to someone I knew they were willing to try[00:01:24]

So I figured my freedom was a matter of a day or two more[00:01:29]

But jesus early this morning the whirlybird dropped the gas[00:01:33]

It made me puke and it brought me to my knees[00:01:38]

The bullets came like hail-stones I heard the first ones pass[00:01:43]

Then they cut down willie and they got jim kelly and me[00:01:47]

They come in yelling curses like they were caught in the river rhine[00:01:52]

Shot down every god damned thing they saw[00:01:56]

And while I lay they wounded I took another one in my spine[00:02:01]

Poor jim kelly took another one in his jaw[00:02:06]

They say we had our throats cut by a band of desperate men[00:02:10]

They say they saved as many of us as they could[00:02:15]

Well the governor he should now it but I think I'll say it again[00:02:19]

That the governor cut my throat and he cut it good[00:02:24]

Yeah let them take the governor hold him for a couple of days[00:02:28]

See who goes in shooting to set him free[00:02:33]

Hell they'll open every jail in the country they'd send them on their way[00:02:36]

They'd never do to him what the governor done to me[00:02:42]
