Angola Bound

Angola bound, now, Angola bound

I'd be with my woman, yeah, before the sun goes down
Angola bound, now, Angola bound
If you see my Momma, tell her this for me
I got lucky last summer when I got my time, Angola bound
Well my partner got a hundred, I got ninety-nine, Angola bound
Oh, my Momma, she told me, leave that junk alone, Angola bound
You come up here skippin' and 'a jumpin', oh Lord, it won't last long
Oh, they always talkin' 'bout dangerous blue, Angola bound
Don't want no girl-boy lovin' 'cause I got my load, Angola bound
The jury found me guilty 'cause they wrote it down, Angola bound
If I had my pistol, I would do 'nere one, Angola bound
Don't want no trouble out the boys I know, Angola bound

Angola bound, now, Angola bound
If it wasn't for the Captain, oh Lord, I'm shaggin' house
And go to Louisiana, get your burdens on, Angola bound
Got hooked to the habit, had to carry on, Angola bound
Gonna wish it was a baby boy, in your mother's arms

Oh Captain say, "Walk" and the boss say, "Run", Angola bound

Angola bound, now, Angola bound
Gonna wish it was a baby boy, in your mother's arms
Oh Lord, I'll never be free
If I had my shank, I'd be dangerous too, Angola bound
Angola bound, now, Angola bound
I'd be with my woman, yeah, before the sun goes down
Oh, you work me harder than you work that mule, Angola bound

Angola bound, now, Angola bound
You come up here skippin' and a jumpin', oh Lord, it won't last long
Angola bound, now, Angola bound
Angola bound, now, Angola bound
Oh, I've got a mighty long time, Lord knows I'll never go free
Oh Captain, oh Captain don't you be so cruel, Angola bound
I wouldn't be deep down in the trouble grieving this way, Angola bound

I'd be with my woman, yeah, before the sun goes down
Angola bound, now, Angola bound
Judge said, "Junkie boy, you're penitentiary bound", Angola bound

Oh Lord, by the light of the moon

If I'd only listened to what my Momma said, Angola bound
Angola bound, now, Angola bound
If it wasn't for the Captain, oh Lord, I'm shaggin' house
You been a long time coming but you're welcome home, Angola bound
You come up here skippin' and 'a jumpin', oh Lord, it won't last long
If it wasn't for the Captain, oh Lord, I'm shaggin' house
Gonna wish it was a baby boy, in your mother's arms
