\beginverse
\[Gm]Did you see that lady there?
They strip\[D#]ped her to her \[D]underwear
She \[Gm]took it one step further and stripped to \[D#]bare \[D]
\[Gm]Through the rising flames and smoke
She \[D#]laughed as all the \[D]police choked
And then she \[Gm]danced in the government pyre
\endverse
\beginchorus
\[D#] The \[D]jailhouse is \[Gm]on fire
\[D#] The \[D]jailhouse is \[Gm]on fire

\endchorus
\beginverse
She grabbed a guard and stole his keys
Unlocked the cells and set us free
And we ran and caught our pants on the old barbed wire
Hit the dirt, we hit the road
We jumped the fence, we kissed a toad
And we hollered at the ladies in the churchyard choir
\endverse
\beginverse
Hopped a train and headed west
Free woman now, just like the rest
All the hobos on the line called me a liar
Train, it popped and spewed and spat
And coal smoke billowed thick and black
And she was everywhere, rising higher, she set
\endverse
