We ain’t gonna come back here no mo’.
Lawd, we have laid in jail so long,
Lawd, we have laid in jail so long.
Say, judge sentence me so long,
He ain’t had no mercy on us.
Lawd, captain, come an’ got me,
Taken me to road to work.
Lawd, taken me out one mornin’,
Taken me out so soon.
Told captain didn’t know how to work.
