C F G C [Verse] C I was fresh out of the service F It was back in ‘82 C G F And I raised some Cain when I came back to town C I meant to be all I could be F Come home without a clue C G C Married Dawn and had to settle down C So I hired on at the prison F Guess I always knew I would C G F Just like my dad and both my uncles done C Worked on every cell block F Now, things're going good C G C Then they transferred me to Ellis Unit One [Chorus] F G Swing low C F Swing low G C Swing low and carry me home [Verse] C F My daddy used to talk about them long nights at the walls C G F And how they used to strap 'em in the chair C F The kids down from the college and they'd bring their beer ‘n all C G F When the lights went out, a cheer rose in the air C I guess folks just got too civilized F Old Sparky's gathering dust C G F No one wants to touch a smoking gun C They got that injection now F They don't mind as much, I guess C G C Put ‘em down on Ellis Unit One [Chorus] F G Swing low C F Swing low G C Swing low and carry me home [Verse] C Well, I've seen 'em fight like lions, boys F I've seen 'em go like lambs C G F And I've helped to drag 'em when they could not stand C F And I've heard their mamas crying when they heard that big door slam C G C I've seen the victim's family's holding hands C F Last night I dreamed that I woke up with straps across my chest C G F And something cold and black pulling through my lungs C F Even Jesus couldn't save me though I know he did his best C G C But he don't live on Ellis Unit One [Chorus] F G Swing low C F Swing low G C Swing low and carry me home [Chorus] F G Swing low C F Swing low G C Swing low and carry me home
