Lyrics : P.O.W. Blues

They bring our food in the morning
They throw it at our feet
You know it's foul and it's foreign
But a man's gotta eat

They take their time to tease us
Around and 'round they [go/crow?]
I keep pleading to Jesus
When will they let us go

Well I remember the sunshine
The way it hit my face
And I've been longing for sunshine
Since I've been in this place

Why it's as dark as a dungeon
The rats have cleaned the floor
They keep me up with their stirring
I can't take it no more

So I close my eyes to roam
Just strolling over memories trying to catch a glimpse of home
So take me back to the country
Where the river bends
I don't care how I get there
Just let this nightmare end

Throw me out in the ocean
On unforgiving waves
I'll take my chances a-floatin'
O'er rottin' in this cage

So I close my eyes to roam
Just strolling over memories trying to catch a glimpse of home
Just strolling over memories trying to catch a glimpse of home
