Well hello there, dear mama I can see youre mighty scared I can see youve been raisin babies In a pasture somewhere They took away your babies Left you all alone, and then They stripped you of your pride Brought you here to the Kill Pen Now theyre bringin you in to the auction ring I can hear them say How much will you give me, boys To take this one away? It looks like shes got good bloodlines Shes been left alone too long. Now shes going to the dogs in the Kill Pen Till shes goin, goin, gone But I can read between the lines, girl You and I are just the same Were both afraid of trusting But we should not be ashamed I was once abandoned, too But theres tenderness within So Ive come to buy your freedom And get you out of this Kill Pen You might also likeYou see, you and I, were just alike They tried to take my babies, too Tried to kill my spirit I was treated just like you Then they lied to strip me of my pride Tried to shame me to my friends And then a Voice said Come and follow Me Ill get you out of this Kill Pen. Long ago there was an auction And the auctioneer did say How much silver will you give me, boys To take this one away? The Prisoner had good bloodlines But for me He was condemned And He shed His blood upon the cross And got me out of this Kill Pen Can you read between the lines, friends? You and I are just the same Were both afraid of trusting But we should not be ashamed Weve all been abandoned But theres tenderness within So wont you come and follow Him Hell get you out of this Kill Pen Wont you come and follow Him Lets all get out of this Kill Pen
