The Lifer And The Visit

I know I done bad.

I know I done wrong.

That's why I'm here.

I know I deserve

To be locked here real long.

I am so sad.

Could you have a little pity

On this boy who's been bad?

Could you find it in your heart

To visit my pad?

The awful despair

Is so hard to bear.

I know I done wrong,

And I know that it's fair

That I'm locked up in here,

But have mercy on me.

I can endure most unhappiness

Except the despair of long loneliness.

Yes I know I done bad;

I know I done wrong.

Please visit my pad

Before I'm long gone.
