Riot In Cell Block Number Nine

On July the second, 1953
 I was serving time in Tehachapi
 4:00 in the morning
 I was sleepin' in my cell
 I heard a whistle blow
 And I heard somebody yell
 There's a riot goin' on
 There's a riot goin' on
 There's a riot goin' on
 Up in cell block number nine
 The trouble all started up in cell block number 4
 It spread like fire across the prison floor
 Warden came in with a big Tommy gun
 Bang-bang-bang, tryin' to stop our fun
 The warden said, come out
 With your hands up in the air
 If you don't stop this riot
 You're all gonna get the chair
 Two-gun Mathilda said
 It's too late to quit
 Pass the dynamite Molly
 'Cause man, this fuse is lit
 They called the state militia
 To help them win the fight
 Drove up to the prison
 In the middle of the night
 Each and every trooper
 He looked so tall and fine
 All the chicks went crazy
 Up in cell block number nine
