Riot In Cell Block Number Nine Lyrics - Blues Brothers

July the second, it was nineteen sixty-three 

I was servin' time for armed robbery 

Four o'clock in the mornin', I was layin' back in my cell 

I heard the whistle blow then I heard somebody yell 

 

There's a riot goin' on 

There's a riot goin' on 

There's a riot goin' on 

Down in cell block number 9 

 

The riot started down in cell block number 4 

Spread like wild fire across the prison floor 

Scar-face Jones said, "It's too late to quit" 

Pass the dynamite 'cause the fuse is lit 

 

There's a riot goin' on 

There's a riot goin' on 

There's a riot goin' on 

Down in cell block number 9 

 

Y'all gotta stop that stuff goin' on over there 

If ya don't stop that riot, y'all gonna get the chair 

I said, "Hey now boys, get ready to run 

Here come the warden with an automatic gun" 

 

There's a riot goin' on 

There's a riot goin' on 

There's a riot goin' on 

Down in cell block number 9 

 

In the forty-seventh hour the tear gas 

It got our men 

We are all back in our cells 

But every now and then 

 

There's a riot goin' on 

There's a riot goin' on 

There's a riot goin' on 

Down in cell block number 9
