On July the second, 1953
   I was serving time in Tahatchopee
   Four o'clock in the morning
   I was sleepin' in my cell
   I heard a whistle blow
   And I heard somebody yell
  
   [Chorus]
   There's a riot goin' on
   There's a riot goin' on
   There's a riot goin' on
   Up in cell block number nine
  
   The trouble all started up in cell block #4
   It spread like fire across the prison floor
   Warden came in with a big tommy gun
   Bang-bang-bang, tryin' to stop our fun
  
   The warden said, come out
   With your hands up in the air
   If you don't stop this riot
   You're all gonna get the chair
   Two-gun Mathilda said
   It's too late to quit
   Pass the dynamite Molly
   'Cause man, this fuse is lit
  
   They called the state militia
   To help them win the fight
   Drove up to the prison
   In the middle of the night
   Each and every trooper
   He looked so tall and fine
   All the chicks went crazy
   Up in cell block number nine
