Riot In Cell Block #9

On July 7th uh 1963 I was serving time for armed robbery At 3:00 in the morning I was asleep in my cell When I heard A whistle blow And I heard something else Chorus There's a riot going on There's a riot going on There's a riot going on Up in cell block #9 The trouble started in cell block #4 It spread like fire In Folsom Prison I said OK Boys In A minute you run Because here comes the warden With A diamond gun Chorus There's a riot going on There's a riot going on There's a riot going on Up in cell block #9 At 3:00 in thе morning A guy with tear gas came in But we'rе all back in our cells But every now and then Chorus There's a riot going on There's a riot going on There's a riot going on Up in Up in cell block #9
