	作词 : Cave
	These chains of sorrow, they are heavy, it is true
	And these locks cannot be broken,
	No, not with one thousand keys
	O jailer, you drag a ball-n-chain you cannot see
	You can lay your burden on me
	You can lay your burden down on me
	You can lay your burden down upon me
	But you cannot lay down your memory
	Woooo wooo wooo
	Woooo wooo wooo
	Here i go!
	Knockin on joe!
	This square foot of sky will be mine til i die
	Knocking on joe
	Woooo wooo wooo
	All down the row
	Knockin on joe
	O warden i surrender to you
	Your fists can't hurt me anymore
	You know, these hands will never mop
	Your dirty death row floors
	O preacher, come closer, you don't scare me anymore
	Just tell nancy not to come here
	Just tell her not to come here anymore
	Tell nancy not to come
	And let me die in the memory of those arms
	O woo woo woo
	Woo woo woo
	All down the row
	Knockin on joe
	O you kings of halls and ends of halls
	You will die within these walls
	And i'll go, down the row
	Knockin on joe
	O nancy's body is a coffin,
	She wears my tombstone at her head
	O nancy's body is a coffin,
	She wears my tombstone at her head
	She wears her body like a coffin
	She wears a dress of gold and red
	She wears a dress of gold and red
	She wears a dress of red and gold
	Grave-looters at my coffin
	Before my body's even cold
	It's a door for when i go
	Knockin on joe
	These hands will never mop
	Your dirty death row floors
	No! you can hide! you can run!
	O but your trial is yet to come
	O you can run! you can hide!
	But you have yet to be tried!
	You can lay your burdens down here
	You can lay your burden down
	Knockin on joe
	You can lay your burden upon me
	You can lay your burden upon me
	Knockin on joe
	You can lay it down here
	You can bring your burden down
	Knockin on joe
	You can't hurt me anymore
	You can't hurt me anymore
	Knockin on joe
	(ad lib)
