Jailhouse Rocking lyrics with English Translations
Jailhouse rocking! Jailhouse rocking!
Jailhouse rocking! Jailhouse rocking!
Prisoner chanting 'cause they want to come out.
It's been a long time, My brothers and my sisters, I've been taken away, for such a long time. Locked behind the bars, in Spanish town. Locked behind the bars, in Richman farm. Locked behind the bars, in Fort Augustus. Said I know, what you're going through. Said I know, what you're feeling too. Though I know, a lot of you are innocent, Serving the time, of a convicted prisoner.
Jailhouse rocking! Jailhouse rocking! Jailhouse rocking! Jailhouse rocking! Prisoner chanting for they want to come out. Jailhouse rock! Jailhouse rock! Jailhouse rock! Look and take a stock.
So when the youths come check you for work to do, The reply is tellin' them "I can't help you". Look upon their feet , not even a shoe to wear, Look upon their raiment, all you see is tear. How do you think, they gonna survive, Guess you should have known by now. Guess you should have known by now! They'll be robbin', stabbin', looting in the street, And I know each and veryone needs to eat. They'll be robbin', stabbin', shootin' all over, And I tell you that it happens on the corner. Jailhouse rocking! Jailhouse rocking! Jailhouse rocking! Prisoner chanting for they want to come out. Jailhouse rock! Jailhouse rock! Jailhouse rock! Look and take a stock.
Said I know, what you're going through. Said I know, what you're feeling too. So many times jailers guys come down on you all, With their baton stick and a whole lot of licks.
Jailhouse rocking! Jailhouse rocking! Jailhouse rocking! Jailhouse rocking! Prisoner chanting for they want to come out.
