Virgil

Paul Simon

I've got a wife and four grown children I can't afford their education I've been a prison guard for fourteen years That ain't exactly a vacation Since he's been here he's followed ev'ry rule and I Told you my position The law says he's got the right to go to school We abide by the court's decision I got a Winchester two forty three I like that gun for deer Upstate November and the air is free Feels like hunting seasons here He's the one to keep your eye on He's a sneak yeah but he's quiet He's a trouble maker if I ever seen one Next thing ya know it's Attica And we got a prison riot There ain't no way that punk gets his degree And hides behind the constitution No way in hell that smart assed spic goes free Not while I'm in this institution --- Virgil - Paul Simon
