Footsteps of the warder
With his bunch of jingling keys
Is there another prisoner coming in
For I and I will be free?
Now he is walking up the corridor
As I stand here militantly
The same judge who found me guilty
Could have proved my innocency

Innocency, jingling keys
They do as they please

So brothers don’t you worry
Just build your unity
They only try to test us
To see if they weaken us mentally
But some day they’ll be sorry
For the real culprits will be
Behind those iron curtains
Then I’ll have those jingling keys

Jingling keys, they do as they please
Jingling keys, they jingle for me
