    La                    Mi                 La
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me
                       Re                    La
You've hosted me since nineteen sixty three
Mi                                              La
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die
La             Mi                  La
And long ago I stopped askin' why

    La               Mi               La
San Quentin, I hate evry inch of you.
                       Re                        La
You've cut me and have scarred me thru an' thru.
Mi                                   La
And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man;
La                      Mi                  La
Mister Congressman why can't you understand.

    La             Mi                       La
San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
                    Re                              La
Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
    Mi                                         La
You bent my heart and mind and you may my soul,
         La                   Mi                  La
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold.

    La                Mi                   La
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.
                              Re            La
May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
   Mi                                   La
May all the world forget you ever stood.
        La             Mi                      La
And may all the world regret you did no good.

    La                   Mi              La
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.
