Down the road came a junco partner
for he was loaded as can be
he was knocked out, knocked out loaded
he was a'wobblin' all over the street
Singing 6 months ain't no sentence
and one year ain't no time
i was born in angola
serving 14 to 99
Well i wish i had me $1 million dollars
oh one million to call my own
i would raise meat and say, "grow for me baby"
i would raise me a tobacco farm
Well i wish i would have me a great deal of money
yeah and mighty good things all over town
now i ain't got no more money
all of my good friends are putting me down
So now i gotta pawn my rifle and pistol
yeah i'm gonna pawn my watch and chain
i would have pawned my seat gabriella
but the smart girl she wouldn't sign her name
Give me headstone when i die
