歌曲歌詞
These chains of sorrow
They are heavy, it is true
And these locks cannot be broken
No, not with one thousand keys
O Jailer, you're dragging
Ball and chain, you cannot see
You can lay your burden on me
You can lay down your burden on me
You can bring burden down upon me
But you can't lay down your memories, no
Here I go, knockin' on Joe
This square foot of sky will be mine til I die
Knockin' on Joe, all down the row
Knockin' on Joe
O Warden, I surrender to you
Your fists can't hurt me anymore
You know, these hands will never mop
Your dirty 'Death Row' floors
Preacher, come closer
You don't scare me anymore
Just tell Nancy not to come here
O, tell her not to come
And let me die in the memory of her arms
All down the row, knockin' on Joe
O you Kings of halls, ends of halls
You will die within these walls
And I'll go, all down the row, knockin' on Joe
O Nancy's body is a coffin
She wears my tombstone at her head
Her body is a coffin
She wears my tombstone at her head
She wears her body like a coffin
She wears a dress of gold and red
