Through these bars, I see the sun I'm here because, the wrong I've done My woman's knees, made me ashamed I scorned for her, when I should have stood up like a man You see, I've got to say good morning Tonight, I'm still here Listen to me now They got me working, like a slave Paying for, my mistakes I know someday, I'll be free Please darling, oh honey wait for me I've got to say good morning Tonight, I'm still here Good morning to that old nine pound steel This old jail, is so cold I need you darling, I need your love more and more I know someday, someday I'll be free Please darling, oh honey wait for me Until I lay down this old nine, nine pound Nine pound steel, it's so hard sometimes Listen to me honey I'm coming home Wait for me I'm coming home Wait for me
