The Tin Box Boys - Warden lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm ready warden, to meet my end To believe my soul I lend Believe my mark upon the Earth Goodbye my wish to walk it's girth Hello soul, within the ground I'll go quiet, no cry, no sound I'm ready warden Yes I'm ready [Verse 2] I never did play that well free Put the bird in the cage, that dog on a leash But be sure to put that dog down Don't fear his bark, now he can't make a sound Cause we're the wardens, and we're ready Yeah we're the wardens, and we're ready [Verse 3] Well, put the man in the war and he'll k** just fine But guilt only comes when the k**ing is defined Grab your gun, and head to the hills, get ready Well twelve men stood, and the judge said he Who murdered Lil' Sadie in the first degree He cut her down in cold blood Now he must wear the rope, and he must wear the hood It's heavy boys, it gets heavy It's heavy boys, it gets heavy [Verse 4] I knew the price, but I couldn't pay the bill Now my grave is the counter, and the gallow's the till Leave me just two coins please To pay the man at the boat, and Lucifer his fee Just drop me warden, cause I'm ready Yeah drop me warden, cause I'm ready [Verse 5] And through the hood now I draw my last breath Blurred shapes through the hood are my last friends left I'm sorry for all of the things I've done Let the people cheer, d**h hammer on his drum But no you don't got anything for free Gonna want a way out, better follow me A k**er's still a k**er with a gavel or not Remember your coin sir, your feet are getting hot You're next warden, yes you're next Cause it's your neck warden, your neck
