Intro: I've been in jail eleven years and parole has just come through, the gates will soon swing open wide but I'm not going through. Jail's the only home I know or care to know about, please let me stay where I belong, please don't let me out.! How could I tell those friends of mine they've seen the last of me, can't I make you understand I never can be free ? 'Cause that's a big unfriendly world and I don't know the route that leads to where I may belong, please don't let me out! I had to learn to get along without a lot of things, and I had to learn to live with the loneliness confinement brings. And I learnt to take no mail from home or whatever came about, now I'm dug in and I'm happy here, please don't let me out! How could I tell those friends of mine they've seen the last of me, can't I make you understand I never can be free ? 'Cause that's a big unfriendly world and I don't know the route that leads to where I may belong, please don't let me out! Yes, that's a big unfriendly world and I don't know the route that leads to where I may belong, please don't let me out!
