Allentown Jail
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They locked up my darlin' in allentown jail, oh, oh, oh
And no one has come forth to put up his bail, oh, oh, oh
They say at the courthouse, he'll never go free, never go free
'Cause he stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond to give, to give to me
Somewhere in allentown jail, my heart waits in allentown jail
You know, I gonna dance for you mister, I'll sing you a song, oh, oh, oh
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong, oh, oh, oh
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong
Oh, oh, can't you see?
Well, my love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond to give, to give to me
Somewhere in allentown jail, my heart waits in allentown jail
Somewhere in allentown jail
My heart waits in allentown jail
