Baltimore Cage (B. Malkus) Didn’t pay attention To that police line Four in the morning He just did not read the sign Three days in that Baltimore cage Robert Oswald was a desperate man Some say they always knew He’d wind up in the can Three days in that Baltimore cage What the authorities did not know They were dealing with a man So pure and benign of soul So it goes Carter, Ralph and Curly Ray Cline Listening to and sipping on That Little Glass of Wine Into another man’s Wreck on the Highway He knew he’d have to Eat up every dose Or when they stripped him Up the river he would go Three days in that Baltimore cage
