Les portes du pénitencier
Bientôt vont se refermer
Et c'est là que je finirai ma vie
Comme d'autres gars l'ont finie

Pour moi, ma mère a donné
Sa robe de mariée
Peux-tu jamais me pardonner
Je t'ai trop fait pleurer

Le soleil n'est pas fait pour nous
C'est la nuit qu'on peut tricher
Toi qui ce soir as tout perdu
Demain, tu peux gagner

Oh, mères, écoutez-moi
Ne laissez jamais vos garçons
Seuls la nuit traîner dans les rues
Ils iront tout droit en prison

Et toi la fille qui m'a aimé
Je t'ai trop fait pleurer
Les larmes de honte que tu as versées
Il faut les oublier

Et les portes du pénitencier
Bientôt vont se fermer
Et c'est là que je finirai ma vie
Comme d'autres gars l'ont finie
