Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain

That pretty piece off Cuba
Designed to cause men pain
Whoa, when you light up in Cuba
You won't feel the same again

Down in Guantanamo
Whew, still waiting for the big cigars
Down in Guantanamo
Whew, still waiting for the big cigars

Been a breach of promise
Still guilty with no charge
There's smoke in the forest
And the tumor is getting large

Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain

There's a long road to travel
For justice to make its claim
So let's bring down the gavel
Let the prisoner say his name

Mmm, still waiting for the big cigars
Still waiting for the
Still waiting for the big cigars

Hey, still waiting for the big cigars
