Lyrics for Song: Let Me In
Lyrics for Album: The Cold Hard Facts of Life/Soul of a Convict [2008]
(Gene Crysler)
A little boy knocked at the warden's door of Sing Sing then in tears
Said sir I understand that 8-3-9-6-8 lives here
Well that's my daddy sir and I just got to be near him
If you can't let him out you just got to let me in.
Let me in, let me in 8-3-9-6-8's my dad
I watched them bury my mama and now he's all in the world I have
I can break your little rocks put a hammer in my hand
I just gotta be near daddy Mister warden let me in.
--- Instrumental ---
Well I've checked through California Alcatraz out on the Rock
From Folsom onto Leavenworth and no one had my pop
Then I found the old news clipping in my mama's souvenirs
And here I am at Sing Sing 8-3-9-6-8 lives here.
Let me in, let me in 8-3-9-6-8's my dad
I watched them bury my mama and now he's all in the world I have
I can break your little rocks put a hammer in my hand
I just gotta be near daddy Mister warden let me in...
