J. J. Cale: "Deep Dark Dungeon" Lyrics

I knew a man, made a heavy move

He shot his wife, his best friend too

They put him away in a deep dark dungeon

Where the sun dont never shine

I knew a woman, had a jealous mind

She got a man, she caught him lying

They put her away in a deep dark dungeon

Where the sun dont never shine

A friend of mine, he got five years

For selling dope and bootleg beers

They put him away in a deep dark dungeon

Where the sun dont never shine

Oh, sleepy john had one vice

He liked to cheat at cards and dice

They put him away in a deep dark dungeon

Where the sun dont never shine
