Angola Bound

Aaron Neville

Too many mornin' gotta wake up soon

Oh Lord, and eat my breakfast by the light of 'de moon

Oh Lord, by the light of 'de moon

If you see my Momma, tell her this for me

Oh I've got a mighty long time, Lord knows I'll never go free

Oh Lord, I'll never be free

Angola bound, now, Angola bound

Angola bound, now, Angola bound

I got lucky last summer when I got my time

Angola bound

Well my partner got a hundred, I got ninety-nine

Angola bound

You been a long time coming but you're welcome home

Angola bound

And go to Louisiana get your burdens on

Angola bound

Oh Captain, oh Captain don't you be so cruel

Angola bound

Oh you work me harder than you work that mule

Angola bound

If it wasn't for the Captain

oh Lord, I'm shaggin' house

I'd be with my woman, yeah

before the sun goes down

You come up here skippin' and a' jumpin'

oh Lord, it won't last long

Gonna wish you was a baby boy

in your mother's arms

Angola bound, now, Angola bound

Angola bound, now, Angola bound

Don't want no gal-boy lovin' cause I got my load

Angola bound

Don't want no trouble out 'de boys I know

Angola bound

Oh they always talkin' 'bout dangerous blue

Angola bound

If I had my shank I'd be dangerous too

Angola bound

Oh Captain say walk and the boss say run

Angola bound

If I had my pistol I would do 'nere one

Angola bound

oh Lord, I'm shaggin' house

I'd be with my woman, yeah

before the sun goes down

You come up here skippin' and a' jumpin'

oh Lord, it won't last long

Gonna wish you was a baby boy

in your mother's arms

Angola bound, now, Angola bound

Angola bound, now, Angola bound

If it wasn't for the Captain

oh Lord, I'm shaggin' house

I'd be with my woman, yeah

before the sun goes down

You come up here skippin' and a' jumpin'

oh Lord, it won't last long

Gonna wish you was a baby boy

in your mother's arms

Angola bound, now, Angola bound

Angola bound, now, Angola bound

If I'd always listened to what my Momma said

Angola bound

I wouldn't be deep down in the trouble this way

Angola bound

Oh my Momma, she told me, leave that junk alone

Angola bound

Got hooked to the habit, had to carry on

Angola bound

The jury found me guilty cause they wrote it down

Angola bound

Judge said, junkie boy you're penitentiary bound

Angola bound

Angola bound, now, Angola bound

Angola bound, now, Angola bound

Angola bound, now, Angola bound
