Intro
Verse 1
Well The Double-Barrel Shotgun Is A Mighty Bad Thing
That's Why I'm Wearing This Ball And Chain
I Shot Joe Taylor, What An Awful Sin
Now I'm Doing Time In The Moundsville Pen
Chorus
The Moundsville Pen's Gonna Be My Home
Got A Lifetime Job Breaking Up Stones
The Old Judge Looked Down, And Said With A Grin
You'll Spend Your Life In The Moundsville Pen
Instrumental Break
Verse 2
Well I Thought I Was Lucky When They Spared My Life
But I Found Out Different Each Lonely Night
Can't Face The Future Under Lock And Key
I'd Rather Hang, Never To Be Free
Chorus
The Moundsville Pen's Gonna Be My Home
Got A Lifetime Job Breaking Up Stones
The Old Judge Looked Down, And Said With A Grin
You'll Spend Your Life In The Moundsville Pen
Instrumental Break
Verse 3
Lord Knows I'm Sorry For The Wrong I've Done
But It Can't Be Changed And I Sure Can't Run
I Can't Hold My Children, Can't Kiss My Wife
I've Broken The Law And I'm Here For Life
Chorus
The Moundsville Pen's Gonna Be My Home
Got A Lifetime Job Breaking Up Stones
The Old Judge Looked Down, And Said With A Grin
You'll Spend Your Life In The Moundsville Pen
I'm Here For Life In The Moundsville Pen
