[Verse 1]
I was fresh out of the service
It was back in '82
I raised some Cain when I come back to town
I left to be all I could be
Come home without a clue
Now, I married Dawn and had to settle down
[Verse 2]
So I hired on at the prison
Guess I always knew I would
Just like my dad and both my uncles done
And I worked on every cell block now
And things were goin' good
But then they transferred me to Ellis Unit One
[Chorus]
Swing low
Swing low
Swing low
And carry me home
[Verse 3]
Well, my daddy used to talk about them long nights at the walls
And how they used to strap 'em in the chair
The kids down from the college and they'd bring their beer and all
When the lights went out, a cheer rose in the air
I was fresh out of the service
It was back in '82
I raised some Cain when I come back to town
I left to be all I could be
Come home without a clue
Now, I married Dawn and had to settle down
[Verse 2]
So I hired on at the prison
Guess I always knew I would
Just like my dad and both my uncles done
And I worked on every cell block now
And things were goin' good
But then they transferred me to Ellis Unit One
[Chorus]
Swing low
Swing low
Swing low
And carry me home
[Verse 3]
Well, my daddy used to talk about them long nights at the walls
And how they used to strap 'em in the chair
The kids down from the college and they'd bring their beer and all
When the lights went out, a cheer rose in the air
