Prison Trilogy (Billy Rose) - Joan Baez[00:00:00]

Billy Rose was a low rider Billy Rose was a night fighter[00:00:07]

Billy Rose knew trouble like the sound of his own name[00:00:12]

Busted on a drunken charge[00:00:18]

Driving someone else's car[00:00:21]

The local midnight sheriff's claim to fame[00:00:23]

In an Arizona jail there are some who tell the tale how[00:00:28]

Billy fought the sergeant for some milk that he demanded[00:00:33]

Knowing they'd remain the boss[00:00:39]

Knowing he would pay the cost[00:00:42]

They saw he was severely reprimanded[00:00:44]

In the blackest cell on "A" Block[00:00:51]

He hanged himself at dawn[00:00:56]

With a note stuck to the bunk head[00:01:01]

Don't mess with me just take me home[00:01:06]

Come and lay help us lay[00:01:11]

Young Billy down[00:01:15]

Luna was a Mexican the law called an alien[00:01:21]

For coming across the border with a baby and a wife[00:01:26]

Though the clothes upon his back were wet[00:01:32]

Still he thought that he could get[00:01:34]

Some money and things to start a life[00:01:36]

It hadn't been too very long[00:01:42]

When it seemed like everything went wrong[00:01:44]

They didn't even have the time to find themselves a home[00:01:47]

This foreigner a brown-skin male[00:01:52]

Thrown into a Texas jail[00:01:55]

It left the wife and baby quite alone[00:01:58]

He eased the pain inside him[00:02:05]

With a needle in his arm[00:02:10]

But the dope just crucified him[00:02:14]

He died to no one's great alarm[00:02:19]

Come and lay help us lay[00:02:24]

Young Luna down[00:02:29]

And we're aze the prisons[00:02:34]

To the ground[00:02:38]

Kilowatt was an aging con of 65[00:02:44]

Who stood a chance to stay alive[00:02:47]

And leave the joint and walk the streets again[00:02:50]

As the time he was to leave drew near[00:02:55]

He suffered all the joy and fear[00:02:57]

Of leaving 35 years in the pen[00:03:00]

And on the day of his release[00:03:07]

He was approached by the police[00:03:09]

Who took him to the warden walking slowly by his side[00:03:12]

The warden said "You won't remain here[00:03:18]

But it seems a state retainer[00:03:20]

Claims another 10 years of your life "[00:03:23]

He stepped out in the Texas sunlight[00:03:29]

The cops all stood around[00:03:35]

Old Kilowatt ran 50 yards[00:03:40]

Then threw himself down on the ground[00:03:44]

They might as well just have laid[00:03:49]

The old man down[00:03:54]

And we're gonna raze raze the prisons[00:03:59]

To the ground[00:04:04]

Help us raze raze the prisons[00:04:08]

To the ground[00:04:13]
