| | | Lyrics: | Five convicts broke free from the Braden prison yard
Five men armed and dangerous, five hearts
stony hard.
They ran down to the bottom where the Hatchie runs black
Where many have fled
but few have come back
Louise and her friend Renzie were talking on the phone
All
about the fugitives desperate on the run
She just had time to whisper, "Renzie, call the
police"
When he stepped up with his shotgun, saying, "Everybody
freeze."
CHORUS:
She said, "Sit down, young man, I don't want no violence
here
I can see your body's weary and your soul laden with care
I'll cook you up some
breakfast, you put that gun away.
Now sit down, young man, and pray."
He said,
"Lady, I'm so hungry, I ain't eaten for three days"
She took out her skillet, fixed him bacon,
bread, and eggs.
She talked about the bible, eyes crinkled when she smiled
He set down
that shotgun and obeyed her like a child
She said, "Where is your mother?" He said, "I
wish I knew."
She said, "I know your mother is praying for you.
I'm seventy-three years
old, raised two boys of my own
And I know we must face judgment when we have done
wrong."
CHORUS
He heard the cruiser coming, the cops were at the door
He
looked out the window, said, "They'll kill me now for sure."
She said, "Finish up your
breakfast, I'll let them do no harm."
He left the shotgun on the sofa and surrendered
unarmed.
Now some folks might have meekly done whatever he had said
And some folks
might have jumped him and probably turned up dead
You can tell it to your daughters and teach
it to your sons
That scrambled eggs and prayers are stronger than guns.
