Come down nineteen-sixty-eight
Let me out that iron gate
I'm longing to be with my woman
Yes I'm longing to be with my woman

Come down evening, come down night
Let me see that morning light
When I will be with my woman
Yes I will be with my woman

They lock me down at six in the evening
Let me out at five in the morning
All along I laid there a-weeping
O Lord Lord Lord I am grieving
