I once had my freedom and my life before me Was brighter and sweeter than all words could tell But I lost it all for the love of a woman Now I'll spend my life in this cold prison cell One window, four walls and a door that won't open That's the only world that I'll ever see One window, four walls and a door that won't open The warden takes care of the key The first time I saw her my friends tried to warn me But I let her fool me with lips soft and sweet When I found her there in the arms of another Just one single shot left her dead at my feet One window, four walls and a door that won't open That's the only world that I'll ever see One window, four walls and a door that won't open The warden takes care of the key The jury that tried me would give me no mercy They said I was guilty, that I had to pay Behind prison walls and with no hope of freedom There's nothing to live for, there's no need to pray One window, four walls and a door that won't open That's the only world that I'll ever see One window, four walls and a door that won't open The warden takes care of the key
