Riot in Cell Block Number Nine (2012 Remaster)

Dr Feelgood
Album : I'm A Man (Best Of The Wilko Johnson Years 1974-1977)

On July second, 1953
I was serving time for armed robbery
'Bout four in the morning
I was sleepin' in my cell
I heard a whistle blow
I heard somebody yell
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine
The trouble started in cell block no 4
It spread like fire across the prison floor
I said Come on boys, get ready to run
Here comes the warden with a tommy gun
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine
The warden said
Come out with your hands up in the air
If you don't stop this riot or You gonna start a riot
You're all gonna get the chair
Scarface Jones said, It's too late to quit
And pass the dynamite, 'cause the fuse is lit
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine
The ninety second hour
The tear gas got our men
Crawled in our cells
But every now and then
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine
