1
Have you heard the dogs at night
2
Somewhere on the hill
3
Chasing some poor criminal
4
And I guess they're out to kill
5
Oh, there must be shackles on his feet
6
And mother in his eyes
7
Stumbling through the devil-dark
8
With the hound pack in full cry
9
Have mercy on the criminal
10
Who is running from the law
11
Are you blind to the winds of change?
12
Don't you hear him anymore?
13
Saying, "Lord, you got to help me
14
I am never gonna sin again
15
Take these chains from around my legs
16
Sweet Jesus, I'll be your friend"
17
Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam
18
While you lie on a cold damp ground
19
Taking in the face of a rifle butt
20
While the wardens hold you down
21
And you've never seen a friend in years
22
Oh, it turns your heart to stone
23
You jump the walls and the dogs run free
24
And the grave's gonna be your home
25
Have mercy on the criminal
26
Who is running from the law
27
Are you blind to the winds of change?
28
Don't you hear him anymore?
29
Saying, "Lord, you got to help me
30
And I am never gonna sin again
31
Take these chains from around my legs
32
Sweet Jesus, I'll be your friend"
33
Oh, have mercy on the criminal
34
Who is running from the law
35
Are you blind to the winds of change?
36
Why don't you hear him anymore?
37
Saying, "Lord, you got to help me
38
And I am never gonna sin again
39
Take these chains from around my legs
40
Sweet Jesus, I'll be your friend"
