Seven prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
There’s no escape from there
And grief had to befell
When it's getting dark at night
Lust imbue the air
One of them was raped to death
And only six left there
Six life prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
They were fed on skilly
Which was poor as hell
Hunger tears their stomachs
Like a grizzly bear
One becomes a dinner
And only five left there
Five life prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
People never care about
Someone else's fell
One did ask for blanket
But no one wants to share
Pneumonia took his life
And only four left there
Four life prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
Anyone can lose his head
When death rings a doorbell
Jailbirds were sinking
Each day deeper in despair
One was hanged on the sly
And only three left there
Three life prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
Hard lines of the evil ones
So easy to foretell
With short temper as a rule
Rude word intends a dare
Head was crushed at paddywhack
And only two left there
Two life prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
One was acquitted of his crime
All comes to farewell
His faith is liberated
But why would envy care?
Pillow descends on sleepers face
And only one left there
Last one prisoner
Was sitting in the cell
He was naughty as a boss
But pride does lead to fail
He did flout the moral code
But on electric chair
He was burnt out like a bulb
And no one left in there
No more prisoners
Sitting in that cell
But next day another one
Is thrown into a jail
The only road to leave this place
Is lying through a bier
Day by day and one by one
Till no one left in here
