Lyrics
Call The Warden
words and music by Ervin R. Maynard

Call The Warden
Cuz It's Lonely On The Row
I've Already Seen The Preacher
And I Guess It's Time To Go
Take Me To The Window
Let Me See The Sun Go Down
I Gotta Look Into The Eyes Of The Hangman
I Put A Bad Woman In The Ground
I Couldn't Help Myself
She Would Not Treat Me Right
I Guess Lying's Part Of Lovin'
Like The Dark Is Part Of Night
Call The Warden
It's Cold Here In The Cell
I Want To See Some Of My Old Friends
They're Throwin' A Party Down In Hell
