Somewhere in Allentown Jail
My heart waits in Allentown Jail
They’ve locked up my darling in Allentown Jail
And no one has come forth to put up his bail
They say at the courthouse he’ll never go free
‘Cause he stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To give, to give to me
You’ll find none like him though you search the world round
And that’s why I’ll need the best lawyer in town
I must find a lawyer the best one in town
For can’t you see
My love stole a diamond. a beautiful diamond
To prove his love to me.
