The Hostage (LP版) - Judy Collins
I'm a guard in the great iron prison
Where least I was 'till now
It was never a picnic social
Never a date

They never come in laughing
And you know they never taught them how
It was d**n hard work
And you wouldn't believe the pay

It was early in the morning lord
I wasn't but a half awake
When the cons went nuts
And took us by surprise

I never was one for shaking
But I found it hard to stand
With a six inch blade
Held right before my eyes

We could hear a siren blowing
And
Somebody yelled in pain
Then it got so quiet
You could hear a bird walk by

They all wan masks on their faces
They spoke with a voice of cain
If they come in shooting
You know you're bound to die
I turned to a buddy named willie
I said willie it'll be all right
If they meant to kill us
We'd be half way down to hell

See they high jacked a plane
In the dessert
And the government screamed and cries
But to save some lives
The opened up a prison cell

So the days kept coming and going
Tension was getting high
But I wasn't too worried
I figured I knew the score

I knew they were talking to someone
I knew they were willing to try
So I figured my freedom
Was a matter of a day or two more
And Jesus early this morning
The whirlybird dropped the gas

It made me secound
And it brought me to my knees
Bullets came like hai stones
I heard the first ones pass
Then they cut down willie
And they got jim kelly and me
They come in yelling curses
Like they were caught
In the river rhine
Shot down every
God damned thing my saw

And while I lay they wounded
I took another one in my spine
Poor jim kelly got
Another one in his jaw

They say we had our throats cut
By a band of desperate men
They say they saved
Just as many of us they as they could

Was a governor he should no it
An I think I'll say it again
That the governor
Cut my throat and he cut it good

Yea
Let them take the governor
Hold him for a couple of days

See who goes in shooting to set him free

Hell they'll open every
Jail in the country
Send them on their way
They'd never do to him
What the governor done to me
