[D]
When they locked those prison doors, my baby said [A] she'd wait.
[D] The guards were a-bettin' [G] five to one, [A] I'd try to hop [D] that prey.
So [G] they put me in [D] that cotton patch [G] just outside [D] the wall.
All was a-hopin' [G] I'd break and run when [A] I heard that old sound [D] bound the wall.
[G] I'm just two miles [D] from the prison wall, [Gm] I hear them hounds [D] a-cryin'.
But I'll never see that [G] old cell again, [A] cause I'm shot four [D] times and dyin'.
I layin' in this railroad drain, how long can [A] freedom last?
[D] See that train a [G]-goin' overhead, [A] like my life it's a [D]-goin' fast.
[G] Choppin' in [D] that cotton patch, [G] each day that train [D] went by.
To catch that prey [G] was my only dream, [C#m] and today I just had [D] to try.
[G] I'm just two miles [D] from the prison wall, [G] I hear them hounds [D] a-cryin'.
But I'll never see [G] that old cell again, [A] cause I'm shot four [D] times and dyin'.
A month ago they gave the guard a brand new [A] shiny gun.
[D] Said he'd like [G] to try it out, [A] and wished I'd [D] break and run.
[G] While he laughed [D] I grabbed some dirt [G] and threw it in [D] his eyes.
I didn't even know [G] if I could run two miles, [A] but now I knew I [D] had to try.
I'm [G] just two [D] miles from the prison [G] wall, and I hear them [D] hounds a-cryin'.
But I'll never see [G] that old cell again, [A] cause I'm shot four [D] times and dyin'.
