Ol' Ohio Prison

Daddy was a workin' man Never rest them workin' hands And it showed years down the road No family to call his own Just a broken back and the silence of his home Mama left when I was young Ran barefoot carryin' me through the thorns And daddy died sometime last year Buried with his wallet and a prayer And the devil was the only one to care And I'm goin' down Yes, I'm goin' down Down the road to where daddy laid On that ol' Ohio prison Ah, Ah Ooooooo Ha ha! And I heard a whisper from that cold wind Howlin' softly into my ears And you may think Jesus had risen Ain't nobody gonna rise from that ol' Ohio prison Ain't nobody gonna rise from that ol' Ohio prison Ain't nobody gonna rise (Vocal run) From that ol' Ohio prison Prison
