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
