G C

It was christmas in prison And the food was real good

G D

We had turkey and pistols Carved out of wood

G C

And I dream of her always Even when I dont dream

G D G

Her names on my tongue And her bloods in my stream.

Chorus:

D C G

Wait awhile eternity

C G D

Old mother natures got nothing on me

G

Come to me, Run to me

C

Come to me, now

G

Were rolling My sweetheart

D G

Were flowing By god

(Repeat Intro)

G C

She reminds me of a chess game With someone I admire

G D

Or a picnic in the rain After a prairie fire

G C

Her heart is as big As this whole goddamn jail

G D G

And shes sweeter than saccharine At a drug store sale.

(Chorus)

(Repeat Intro)

G C

The search light in the big yard Swings round with the gun

G D

And spotlights the snowflakes Like the dust in the sun

G C

Its christmas in prison Therell be music tonight

G D G

Ill probably get homesick I love you. goodnight.

(Chorus)
