Have you heard the dogs at night
  Somewhere on the hill
  Chasing some poor criminal
  And I guess they're out to kill
  Oh there must be shackles on his feet
  And mother in his eyes
  Stumbling through the devil-dark
  With the hound pack in full cry
  
  Have mercy on the criminal
  Who is running from the law
  Are you blind to the winds of change
  Don't you hear him any more
  
  Praying Lord you got to help me
  I am never gonna sin again
  Just take these chains from around my legs
  Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend
  
  Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam
  While you lie on a cold damp ground
  You're taking in the face of a rifle butt
  While the wardens hold you down
  
  And you've never seen a friend in years
  Oh it turns your heart to stone
  You jump the walls and the dogs run free
  And the grave's gonna be your home
