I Knew A Man, Made A Heavy Move

He Shot His Wife, His Best Friend Too

They Put Him Away In A Deep Dark Dungeon

Where The Sun Don't Never Shine

I Knew A Woman, Had A Jealous Mind

She Got A Man, She Caught Him Lying

They Put Her Away In A Deep Dark Dungeon

Where The Sun Don't Never Shine

A Friend Of Mine, He Got Five Years

For Selling Dope And Bootleg Beers

They Put Him Away In A Deep Dark Dungeon

Where The Sun Don't Never Shine

Oh, Sleepy John Had One Vice

He Liked To Cheat At Cards And Dice

They Put Him Away In A Deep Dark Dungeon

Where The Sun Don't Never Shine
