Knockin’ on Joe Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

[Verse 1]
These chains of sorrow, they are heavy, it is true
And these locks cannot be broken
No, not with one thousand keys
O Jailer, you drag a ball-n-chain you cannot see
You can lay your burden on me
You can lay your burden down on me
You can lay your burden down upon me
But you cannot lay down your memory

[Chorus]
Woooo wooo wooo
Woooo wooo wooo
Here I go!
Knockin' on Joe!
This square foot of sky will be mine til I die
Knocking on Joe
Woooo wooo wooo
All down the row
Knockin' on Joe

[Verse 2]
O Warden I surrender to you
Your fists can't hurt me anymore
You know, these hands will never mop
Your dirty Death Row floors
O Preacher, come closer, you don't scare me anymore
Just tell Nancy not to come here
Just tell her not to come here anymore
Tell Nancy not to come
And let me die in the memory of those arms
