REFRAIN: Sitting alone, sad, all alone
Sitting in my cell, all alone
A-thinking of those good times gone by me
A-knowing that I once had a home
For seven long years I've been in prison
For seven long more I have to stay
Just for knocking a man down in the alley
And taking his gold watch away
REFRAIN: Sitting alone, sad, all alone
Sitting in my cell, all alone
A-thinking of those good times gone by me
A-knowing that I once had a home
Oh, oncet I had a sister and a brother
I wonder if they ever think of me
Oh, oncet I had a father and mother
Who lived in a cottage near the sea
REFRAIN: Sitting alone, sad, all alone
Sitting in my cell, all alone
A-thinking of those good times gone by me
A-knowing that I once had a home
