| Lyrics: | Have you heard the dogs at night,
Somewhere on the hill.
Chasing some poor
criminal,
And I guess they're out to kill.
Oh, there must be shackles, on his
feet,
And mother, in his eyes, stumbling through the devil-dark
With the hound pack in
full cry.
Have mercy on the criminal,
Who is running from the law,
Are you
blind to the
Winds of change?
Don't you hear him any more?
Praying Lord you
gotta help me,
I am never gonna sin again.
Just take, these chains
From around my
legs,
Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend.
Now have you ever seen
The white teeth
gleam,
While you lie on a
Cold damp ground.
You're taking in the face of a rifle
butt,
While the wardens hold you down.
And you're never seen a friend in years,
Oh,
it turns your heart to stone.
You jump the walls,
And the dogs run free,
And the
grave's gonna be your home |
