A little boy knocked at the warden's door of Sing Sing then in tears

Said sir I understand that 83968 lives here

Well that's my daddy sir and I just got to be near him

If you can't let him out you just got to let me in

Let me in let me in 83968's my dad

I watched them bury my mama and now he's all the world I have

I can break your little rocks put a hammer in my hand

I just gotta be near daddy Mister warden let me in

[ fiddle ]

Well I've checked through California Alcatraz out on the Rock

From Folsom onto Leavenworth and no one had my pop

Then I found the old news clipping in my mama's souvenirs

And here I am at Sing Sing 83968 lives here

Let me in let me in...
