James Intveld - 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?

(Please Mr Jailer) won't you let my man go free?

Yeah yeah yeah

Inmates:
Please Mr Jailer, won't you let this jailbird free?
Whoa ho ho

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

Allison:
Please Mr Jailer, won't you let my man go free?

Cry Baby and inmates:
Well I'm tired of pressing liscense plates down in this rotten hole,
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, let me out)
Please Mr Jailer, don't you make no lifer out of me

Allison: (Please Mr Jailer) 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 immates: Please mr Jailer Let me out!
Please mr Jailer, don't make me shout
