Please, Mr. Jailer lyrics

Allison:

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man go free?

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man go free?

He don't belong in prison

Though he's guilty as can be

But the only crime he's guilty of

Is simply loving me

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man go free?

All:

Please Mr. Jailer

Allison:

Won't you let my man go free?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Inmates:

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let this jailbird free?

Whoa oh oh!

Allison:

Just look into his eyes

Open up that door

Just listen to his guitar

You'll know the score

Cry Baby:

Please Mr. Jailer

Let an honest man go free

Allison:

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Cry Baby and Inmates:

Please Mr. Jailer

Don't you make no lifer outta me

I'm innocent, I swear it

Let my woman testify

She'll tell you where I was that night

Allison:

Yeah I'm his alibi

All:

Please Mr. Jailer

Allison:

Won't you let my man go free?

Cry Baby and Inmates:

Well I'm tired of pressing license plates down in this rotten hole

Cry Baby:

I gotta reach the outside before I lose control

Please Mr. Jailer

Don't you make no lifer outta me

Alison:

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Cry Baby and Inmates:

Please Mr. Jailer

Let me out of this penitentiary

(Whoa, whoa, let me out)

Please Mr. Jailer

Don't you make no lifer out of me

All:

Please Mr. Jailer

Allison:

Won't you let my baby go free?

Whoa ho ho oh, whoa ho

Let my man go free

Cry Baby:

Whoa oh oh

Don't make no lifer out of me

Please Mr. Jailer

Can't you see how much love she's got for me

Allison:

Well, let him go! let him go! Let him go!

Let my man go free. Yeah Whoa

Cry Baby and Inmates:

Please Mr. Jailer. Let me out!

Please Mr. Jailer, don't make me shout!

Please Mr. Jailer, Well let me out!
