San Quentin Infirmary Blues - Stripped Back

One, two, three

[Verse 1]
I've come to accept the terms of my expiration date
They scheduled my last breath on the row at San Quentin State
'Least that's what the judge said in the courtroom that day
But God, he sure wanted the last word in deciding my fate

[Chorus]
We all know there ain't no certainty
Except the day we croak and paying for our right to breathe
I sure thought I had a few more skies to see
But I died in the San Quentin Infirmary

[Verse 2]
I was getting rеady for my death by the rope
Still a fеw years down the line but they found a lump in my throat
Thought they caught it early but the doctor came and said
Call the father, start repentin' 'cause it's spreading to your head

[Chorus]
We all know there ain't no certainty
Except the day we croak and paying for our right to breathe
I sure thought I had a few more skies to see
But I died in the San Quentin Infirmary

We all know there ain't no certainty
Except the day we croak and paying for our right to breathe
I sure thought I had a few more skies to see
But I died in the San Quentin Infirmary

Come on now

[Chorus]
We all know there ain't no certainty
Except the day we croak and paying for our right to breathe
I sure thought I had a few more skies to see
But I died in the San Quentin Infirmary
Yeah I died in the San Quentin Infirmary
Yeah I died in the San Quentin Infirmary
