Verse
Through these bars I see the Sun
I'm here because the wrong I've done
My woman's needs made me a slave
I stole for her, oh, I should've stood up like a man
You see, I've gotta say good morning to a nine pound steel (ooh, ooh)

They've got me working like a slave
Paying for my mistake
I've gotta say good morning to a nine pound steel
Good morning to are ole nine pound steel
This old jail is so cold
I need you darling, I need your love more and more
I know some day, some day I'll be free (some day)
Please darling, oh honey, wait for me (ooh-ooh)

I've gotta say good morning to a nine pound steel
Oh, baby (ooh-ooh)

I know some day, some day I'll be free (some day)
Ooh baby, oh honey, wait for me (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Until I lay down
This old nine, nine pound, nine pound steel
Oh, baby! (Ooh-ooh)
Baby, let me lay down this whole night, oh this whole night
