Dock Boggs - New Prisoner's Song lyrics

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 And 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 A-knowing that I once had a home Oh, once I had a sister and a brother I wonder if they ever think of me Oh, once I had a father and a mother Who lived in a cottage near the sea
