Nineteen lines of off-beat rhymes set me free
indeed to speak in verse words unrehearsed
nothing to stop me no warden you see
even if he be here I paid the fee
to get in to enter this place most cursed
even if the governor sets me free
even if I do time I don't agree
never have never will jail is the worst
limit on my freedom the girls you see
in Paradise County I smiled with glee
nothing but sun and surf ladies came first
even if a loose tongue don't set me free
see I speak as I please and slap my knee
real soft to show my laugh about to burst
however in prison the maze you see
you know it as endless nowhere to flee
mother watches me lick my wounds thus nursed
even if no nurse heals the sores you see
still mama says the Lord will set me free
