Have you heard the dogs at night
Somewhere on the hill
Chasin' some poor criminal?
And I guess they’re out to kill
Oh, there must be shackles on his feet
And mother in his eyes
Stumblin' through the devil dark
With the hound pack in full cry
Have mercy on the criminal
Who is runnin' from the law
Are you blind to the winds of change?
Don’t you hear him any more?
Prayin' Lord, "You gotta help meI am never gonna sin againJust take these chains from around my legsSweet Jesus, I’ll be Your friend"
Now, have you ever seen the white teeth gleam
While you lie on a cold damp ground
You’re takin' in the face of a rifle butt
While the wardens hold you down
And you’ve never seen a friend in years
Oh, it turns your heart to stone
You jump the walls and the dogs run free
And the grave’s gonna be your home
Oh, have mercy on the criminal
Who is runnin' from the law
Are you blind to the winds of change?
Don’t you hear him any more?
Prayin' Lord, "You gotta help meI am never gonna sin againJust take these chains from around my legsOoh, sweet Jesus, I’ll be Your friend"
Oh, have mercy on the criminal
Who is runnin' from the law
Are you blind to the winds of change?
Don’t you hear him any more?
Prayin' Lord, "You gotta help meI am never gonna sin againJust take these chains from around my legsSweet Jesus, I’ll be Your friend"
