johnny winter – riot in cell block #9 lyrics
july the second, it was nineteen sixty-three
i was servin’ time for armed robbery
four o’clock in the mornin’, i was layin’ back in my cell
i heard the whistle blow then i heard somebody yell
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
down in cell block number 9
the riot started down in cell block number 4
spread like wild fire across the prison floor
scar-face jones said, “it’s too late to quit”
p-ss the dynamite ’cause the fuse is lit
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
down in cell block number 9
y’all gotta stop that stuff goin’ on over there
if ya don’t stop that riot, y’all gonna get the chair
i said, “hey now boys, get ready to run
here come the warden with an automatic gun”
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
down in cell block number 9
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 goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
down in cell block number 9
