Deep Dark Dungeon Lyrics by J. J. Cale

I knew a man, made a heavy move
He shot his wife, his best friend too
They put him away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine
I knew a woman, had a jealous mind
She got a man, she caught him lying
They put her away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine
A friend of mine, he got five years
For selling dope and bootleg beers
They put him away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine
Oh, sleepy john had one vice
He liked to cheat at cards and dice
They put him away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine

I knew a man, made a heavy move He shot his wife, his best friend too They put him away in a deep dark dungeon Where the sun don't never shine I knew a woman, had a jealous mind She got a man, she caught him lying They put her away in a deep dark dungeon Where the sun don't never shine A friend of mine, he got five years For selling dope and bootleg beers They put him away in a deep dark dungeon Where the sun don't never shine Oh, sleepy john had one vice He liked to cheat at cards and dice They put him away in a deep dark dungeon Where the sun don't never shine
