Riot in Cell Block #9 - The Robins

On July second 1953
I was serving time for armed robbery
At four in the morning
I was sleepin' in my cell
I heard a whistle blow
Then I heard somebody yell

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine

The trouble started in cell block no 4
It spread like fire across the prison floor
I said Come on boys get ready to run -
Here comes the warden with a tommy gun

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine

The warden said
Come out with your hands up in the air
If you don't stop this riot
You're all gonna get the chair
Scarface Jones said It's too late to quit
And pass the dynamite 'cause the fuse is lit

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine

The ninety-second hour
The tear gas got our men
Crawled in our cells
But every now and then

There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Up in cell block number nine
