New Prisoner’s Song

Sitting alone, sad all alone
Sitting in my cell all alone
A-thinking of those good times gone by me
Knowing that I once had a home

For seven long years I've been in prison
For seven long more I have to stay
Just for knocking a man down in the alley
Taking his gold watch away

Sitting alone, sad all alone
Sitting in my cell all alone
A-thinking of those good times gone by me
Knowing that I once had a home

Oh, once I had a sister and a brother
Wonder if they ever think of me
Oh, once I had a father and a mother
She lived in a cottage by the sea

Sitting alone, sad all alone
Sitting in my cell all alone
A-thinking of those good times gone by me
Knowing that I once had a home
