Barbed Wire


In caged fury Many belong in a padded cell Now I have a great story to tell There once was a mission from a prison For two guys named Amos & Andy In carpenter class they stole a file At night they worked on the tile Although many days have passed They still had every reason to grasp A reason to escape call it fate Then one day Andy broke the tile block free Off went Amos and Andy Crawling through the corridor The pair managed to find a door It was then they saw the lights of freedom Slipping over the barbed wire Amos cut his foot Dripping blood he managed to make it to a nearby stream There he washed his wound clean So they went on there journey free Later Andy got busted for selling whiskey As for Amos he lived a life of a king down in Mexico Andy never told the authorites where his friend would be Another fast break from the penitentiary
