    As the name implies. Inspired by an actual event of note in these parts (Upstate New York).

    Story Behind the Song
    This was inspired by the second death penalty trial in New York since the Rosenbergs were executed.

    Lyrics
    Death Row Blues
    by Albert J. Millus, Jr.

    I get a blanket when it's cold in winter
    I got a bunk to lay on, waste the time away
    I got a chair to sit on
    A pot to shit on
    And I got two good meals a day.

    I had a whore I kept in New York City
    And then I ended up in Baltimore
    I got some money down in Carolina
    And then I used it up and needed more.

    I get a shower every once in a while
    I get an hour in the yard every day
    They mostly let me alone
    If I only behave
    And I can piss my time away.

    [Break]

    I got a body down in Louisiana
    I got another one in Tennessee
    I got a robbery one in Oklahoma
    And then they finally caught on up to me.

    Well I been sitting, lookin' out the window
    I been lookin' at the trees on the hill
    But there ain't no hill
    I can't see outside
    But I got one more hour to kill.
