prison trilogy (billy rose)

billy rose was a low rider

billy rose was a night fighter

billy rose knew trouble like the sound of his own name

busted on a drunken charge

driving someone else's car

the local midnight sheriff's claim to fame

in an arizona jail there are some who tell the tale how

billy fought the sergeant for some milk that he demanded

knowing they'd remain the boss

knowing he would pay the cost

they saw he was severely reprimanded

in the blackest cell on a" block
