Jailhouse Rockin' Lyrics


Israel Vibration Jailhouse Rockin'


Jailhouse rocking...jailhouse rocking
Prisoner chanting cause thay want to come out

It's been a long time
My brothers and my sisters
I've been taken away for such a long time
Locked behind the bars in Spanish town
Locked behind the bars in Richman farm
Locked behind the bars in Fort Augustus
Said I know what you're going through
Said I know what you're feeling too
Though I know a lot of you are innocent
Serving the time of a convicted prisoner

Jailhouse rocking...jailhouse
Prisoners chanting for they want to come out
Jailhouse rocking..jailhouse
Look and take a stock

So when the youths come check you for work to do
The reply is tellin' them "I can't help you"
Look upon their feet , not even a shoe to wear
Look upon their rainment, all you see is tear
How do you think they gonna survive
Guess you should have known by now
They'll be robbin, stabbin, looting in the street
And I know each and veryone needs to eat
They'll be robbin, stabbin, shootin all over
And I tell you that it happens on the corner

Jailhouse rocking...jailhouse rocking
Look and take a stock

So many times jailers guys come down on you all
With their baton stick and a whole lot of licks
Jailhouse rock...jailhouse rock...jailhouse rock
Prisoners chanting for they want to come out
Jailhouse rocking...jailhouse rocking
Prisoner chanting cause thay want to come out

It's been a long time
My brothers and my sisters
I've been taken away for such a long time
Locked behind the bars in Spanish town
Locked behind the bars in Richman farm
Locked behind the bars in Fort Augustus
Said I know what you're going through
Said I know what you're feeling too
Though I know a lot of you are innocent
Serving the time of a convicted prisoner

Jailhouse rocking...jailhouse
Prisoners chanting for they want to come out
Jailhouse rocking..jailhouse
Look and take a stock

So when the youths come check you for work to do
The reply is tellin' them "I can't help you"
Look upon their feet , not even a shoe to wear
Look upon their rainment, all you see is tear
How do you think they gonna survive
Guess you should have known by now
They'll be robbin, stabbin, looting in the street
And I know each and veryone needs to eat
They'll be robbin, stabbin, shootin all over
And I tell you that it happens on the corner

Jailhouse rocking...jailhouse rocking
Look and take a stock

So many times jailers guys come down on you all
With their baton stick and a whole lot of licks
Jailhouse rock...jailhouse rock...jailhouse rock
Prisoners chanting for they want to come out
