Artist: Merle Haggard Album: Branded Man (1967) Title: I Made The Prison Band
Lyrics I Made The Prison Band(Tommy Collins - Jimmy Bryant - Ernest R. Ball)
Deep inside this lonely prison where the pleasures are so few Where the walls are strong and the days are long and there's nothin' new I learned to play the guitar and I'm a doin' the best I can I guess I could be worse because I made the prison band I made the prison band.
Now there's ole bashfull Bill on the doghouse bass Willie on the steel guitar He hails from Ponkatilla where they drive a pretty mean bar And back on the drum there's two time Tom our mshot temple man The boys call me their singin' MC since I made the prison band I made the prison band.

I've been plannin' a break since Christmas I had the details all worked out But now I know that I ain't gonna go and there's no doubt I had my try-out Sunday and the outcome changed my plan I gotta rehearse for the Friday night show cause I made the prison band I made the prison band.
Now there's ole bashfull Bill on the doghouse bass Willie on the steel guitar He hails from Ponkatilla where they drive a pretty mean bar And back on the drum there's two time Tom our mshot temple man The boys call me their singin' MC since I made the prison band I made the prison band.
