Open the gates up
Hey screw did you miss me
Jimmy I see that you found a new friend
Warden come down here
And kiss me hello
Cause I'm back home in Huntsville again
This suit that I'm wearing
Cost two hundred dollars
But I got it free
With a three dollar knife
I got tailor made shirts
With them long pointy collars
And all it's gonna cost
Is ten years of my life
So open the gates up
Hey screw did you miss me
Jimmy I see that you found a new friend
Warden come down here
And kiss me hello
Cause I'm back home in Huntsville again
I've been rousted and turned out
At three in the morning
I've been roughed up and shook down
And stood on my ear
I've tried to find work
But they called me a jailbird
So I went for the bundle
And I've wound up back here
So open the gates up
Hey screw did you miss me
Jimmy I see that you found a new friend
Warden come down here
And kiss me hello
Cause I'm back home in Huntsville again
I found me a woman as warm as the sunshine
Took her a year to slip out of her dress
She talk about having
A little rose covered cottage
But roses cost money
And you know the rest
So open the gates up
Hey screw did you miss me
Jimmy I see that you found a new friend
Warden come down here
And kiss me hello
Cause I'm back home in Huntsville again
Yes I'm back home in Huntsville again
