　サン・クゥエンティン刑務所よ
　朽ち果てて焼け落ちてしまえ

　ジョニー・キャッシュはその刑務所慰問で
　そう歌い始め喝采を受け、受刑者を煽った。

　しかし、その日所内で暴動は一切なかったという。
　毒をもって毒を制す　力強い男がそこに居る。










"San Quentin"

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

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

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

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

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