The Hostage - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]

I'm a guard in the great iron prison[00:00:20]

At least I was till now[00:00:23]

It was never a picnic social[00:00:25]

Never a date[00:00:27]

They never come in laughing[00:00:29]

And you know they never taught them how[00:00:31]

It was damn hard work[00:00:33]

And you wouldn't believe the pay[00:00:34]

It was early in the morning lord[00:00:38]

I wasn't but a half awake[00:00:40]

When the cons went nuts[00:00:42]

And took us by surprise[00:00:43]

I never was one for shaking[00:00:46]

But I found it hard to stand[00:00:48]

With a six-inch blade held right[00:00:50]

Between my eyes[00:00:52]

We could hear a siren blowing[00:00:55]

Somebody yelled in pain[00:00:57]

Then it got so quiet[00:00:59]

You could hear a bird walk by[00:01:00]

They all had masks on their faces[00:01:03]

Spoke with a voice of cain[00:01:05]

If they come in shooting[00:01:07]

Know you're bound to die[00:01:08]

If they come in shooting[00:01:11]

Know you're bound to die[00:01:13]

Well I turned to a buddy named Willie[00:01:18]

I said Willie it'll be all right[00:01:20]

If they meant to kill us[00:01:22]

We'd be half way down to hell[00:01:23]

See they high-jacked a plane in the dessert[00:01:26]

And the government screamed and cries[00:01:28]

But to save some lives[00:01:31]

They opened up a prison cell[00:01:32]

So the days kept coming and going[00:01:35]

Tension was getting high[00:01:37]

But I wasn't too worried[00:01:39]

I figured I knew the score[00:01:40]

I knew they were talking to someone[00:01:43]

I knew they were willing to try[00:01:45]

So I figured my freedom was a matter of[00:01:47]

A day or two more[00:01:49]

But Jesus early this morning[00:01:52]

The whirlybird dropped the gas[00:01:54]

It made me puke and it[00:01:56]

Brought me to my knees[00:01:57]

The bullets came like hail-stones[00:02:00]

I heard the first ones pass[00:02:02]

Then they cut down Willie[00:02:04]

And they got Jim kelly and me[00:02:05]

They cut down Willie[00:02:08]

And they got Jim kelly and me[00:02:09]

They come in yelling curses[00:02:13]

Like they were caught in the river rhine[00:02:14]

Shot down every god damned thing they saw[00:02:17]

And while I lay they wounded[00:02:21]

I took another one in my spine[00:02:23]

Poor Jim kelly took another one in his jaw[00:02:25]

Oh poor Jim kelly took another one in his jaw[00:02:29]

They say we had our throats cut[00:02:36]

By a band of desperate men[00:02:38]

Say they saved as many of us as they could[00:02:40]

Well the governor he should now it[00:02:44]

But I think I'll say it again[00:02:46]

That the governor cut my throat[00:02:48]

And he cut it good[00:02:50]

Let them take the governor[00:02:52]

Hold him for a couple of days[00:02:54]

See who goes in shooting to set him free[00:02:57]

Hell they'll open every jail in the country[00:03:00]

Send them on their way[00:03:03]

They'd never do to him[00:03:05]

What the governor done to me[00:03:06]

They'd never do to him[00:03:09]

What the governor done to me[00:03:10]
