I Made The Prison Band

(Tommy Collins - Jimmy Bryant - Ernest R. Ball)



Deep inside this lonely prison where the pleasures are so few

Where the walls are strong and the days are long and there's nothin' new

I learned to play the guitar and I'm a doin' the best I can

I guess I could be worse because I made the prison band

I made the prison band.



Now there's ole bashfull Bill on the doghouse bass Willie on the steel guitar

He hails from Ponkatilla where they drive a pretty mean bar

And back on the drum there's two time Tom our mshot temple man

The boys call me their singin' MC since I made the prison band

I made the prison band.

I've been plannin' a break since Christmas I had the details all worked out

But now I know that I ain't gonna go and there's no doubt

I had my try-out Sunday and the outcome changed my plan

I gotta rehearse for the Friday night show cause I made the prison band

I made the prison band.
