Lyrics:

For seven long years I've been in prison
For seven long more I have to stay
Just for knocking a man down in the alley
And taking his gold watch away

Sitting alone, sad all alone
Sitting in my cell all alone
A-thinking of those good times gone by me
A-knowing that I once had a home

Oh, once I had a sister and a brother
I wonder if they ever think of me
Oh, once I had a father and a mother
Who lived in a cottage near the sea
