Jailhouse Fire Lyrics - Singles - Laura Veirs

Did you see that lady there they stripped her to her underwear 

She took it one step further and stripped to bare through the rising flames 

And smoke she laughed as all the police choked 

And then she danced in the government pyre the jailhouse is on fire 

She grabbed a guard and stole his keys unlocked the cells 

And set us free and we ran and caught our pants 

On the old barbed wire we hit the dirt 

We hit the road we jumped the fence 

We kissed a toad and we hollared at the ladies 

In the churchyard choir the jailhouse is on fire

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I hopped a train and headed west free woman 

Now just like the rest all the hobos on the line called me a liar 

The train it choked and spewed and spat and coal smoke billowed thick 

And black and she was everywhere and rising higher she set the jailhouse on fire
