I heard a rumor up in Cranston
Son, please do tell
So lock you shutters and your doors
Lock you window wells
The city sinner's back in Cranston
Says it all so right
He's come to settle up the score
It's time to say goodnight
Cranston city say goodnight
Need I remind the folks in Cranston
You might as well
The city sinner sits up there
Sits up down in Hell
The sinner doesn't come from Knightsville
He comes from Olneyville
Come back to Cranston if you dare
Said it oh so well
They've got a problem down in Cranston
Says it got to warm
I hear them murderers and whores
Oh yes I know them whores
Need I remind the folks in Cranston
He said it oh so well
He's come to settle up the score
You'd better say your prayers
Cranston city say your prayers
I know he's not from Pawtucket
I know he's not down in Knightsville
I know he's not in Woonsocket
Aw hell you see the Cranston city sinner
He sits on top of Laurel Hill
