Tom Waits - Fish in the Jailhouse lyrics

Peoria Johnson told Dudlow Joe I can break out of any old jail you know The bars are iron, the walls are stone All I need me is an old fishbone They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight Oh boy They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight They're serving fish in the jailhouse Fish in the jailhouse tonight Corbina, opaleye hammer head shark Steel head salmon or a mud bank carp Sand me one side dull, whittle the other side sharp By Saturday night I'll be in Central Park They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight Oh boy They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight They're serving fish in the jailhouse Fish in the jailhouse tonight Ask Little Son Jackson, or the 44 Kid Ask Whitfield Faraday what I did From Yazoo city up to Rollin Fork From Natchez to Kenosha, from New Dime to New York They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight Oh boy They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight They're serving fish in the jailhouse Fish in the jailhouse tonight Gimme a nice totuava or a chicken of the sea I'm gonna fashion me a fishbone skeleton key Tell Skullion Childs I won't be late You can bet your freedom I'm gonna clean my plate
