1
It was christmas in prison
2
And the food was real good
3
We had turkey and pistols
4
Carved out of wood
5
And I dream of her always
6
Even when I don't dream
7
Her name's on my tongue
8
And her blood's in my stream.
9
Chorus:
10
Wait awhile eternity
11
Old mother nature's got nothing on me
12
Come to me
13
Run to me
14
Come to me, now
15
We're rolling
16
My sweetheart
17
We're flowing
18
By god!
19
She reminds me of a chess game
20
[Christmas in Prison lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]With someone I admire
21
Or a picnic in the rain
22
After a prairie fire
23
Her heart is as big
24
As this whole goddamn jail
25
And she's sweeter than saccharine
26
At a drug store sale.
27
Chorus:
28
The search light in the big yard
29
Swings round with the gun
30
And spotlights the snowflakes
31
Like the dust in the sun
32
It's christmas in prison
33
There'll be music tonight
34
I'll probably get homesick
35
I love you. Goodnight.
36
Chorus:
Christmas in Prison
