Eastham Prison Farm Blues

[Verse 1]
Well I was 21 in the slammer
'Cause I like cars that ain't mine
Then I was on the run with a hammer-fired gun
Smuggled to me by my wife
Before I could break stride they caught me with their light
They told me to raise my arms
Before the daylight by no surprise
I'm back in Eastham Prison Farm

[Hook]
Mmmhmm
Ahhah
Ahhah

[Verse 2]
Well I had to kill a man he wouldn’t leave me alone
So I crushed his skull with a pipe
I put the blood on my buddy’s hands
He was already booked in for life
In order to make light of thе labor inside
I had to cause myself somе harm
I took a knife to my toes and I said my goodbyes to the Eastham Prison Farm

[Hook]
Ahhah
Mmmhmm
Mmmhmm

[Verse 3]
Once I left I never was again the same
When you’re on the inside you do whatever it takes
You turn from a schoolboy to a rattlesnake
That no good tune could charm
I’m sorry sister Marie, yeah you’re right that I changed
All 'cause of Eastham Prison Farm

[Hook]
Mmmhmm
Mmmhmm
Mmmhmm

[Verse 4]
Two years, 16 warrants, and a handful of banks to our name
Elizabeth and Chestnut wanted for murder in four states
On our way to the Parish on the 23rd of May
Emptied 130 rounds in our car
I died that day I’m still glad I escaped from the Eastham Prison Farm
Yeah, The Eastham Prison Farm
Well, The Eastham Prison Farm

[Hook]
Mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm
