Lyrics

Well I used to be an angel
I guess my wings got torn
I ain't seen nothing but bad luck and trouble
Ever since that I've been born
Ever since that I've been born
Well I used to have a best friend
A girl fought to be my bride
I had everything that a man could want
I believed I was satisfied
I believed I was satisfied
Well but I come home one evening
The moon was a-hanging high
I felt something wrong, something must be going on
And a black cat passed me by
A black cat passed me by
I peeked on through my keyhole
Oh tell me what did I see
I found my gal and my best friend
In a bed that belonged to me
A bed that belonged to me
So I went and grabbed my shotgun
You know how the story goes
Gonna find me on a chain
Digging ditches in the rain
I'll be wearing them county clothes
Lord, I'll be wearing them county clothes
Well the jury found me guilty
I heard that gavel sound
And the only friend who'd have thrown my bail
Was six feet underground
She was six feet underground
Lord, Lord I'm feeling low down
Ain't nothing to call mine
Gonna spend my days wasting all away
In cell block number nine
Cell block number nine
