Low-light moonlight comes through my window

But these steel bars spoil the view

You know that jailer thinks I'm guilty

He don't know that I'm passing through

Ain't no service in this prison

Ain't no women I can see

Doin' my time now, I been waiting

For that jailer, set me free

Lord that jailer, walks around here

Like he owns my very soul

You know that jailer's got the key

Be so easy, let me go
