Please, Mr. Jailer
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my man go free?
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my baby go free? Yeah yeah yeah
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.
So please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my man go free?
Well I know it won't be long now,
'Till they cut his hair off too.
But I'm hoping there's one favor,
that I could beg of you.
So Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my man go free?
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my baby free?
Yeah yeah yeah
Just look into his eyes, open up that door.
listen to his guitar, and you'll know the score.
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my man go free
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my man go free
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let this jailbird free, yeah yeah yeah
He's innocent, I swear it.
So let me testify
I'll tell you where he was that night,
and I'll be his alibi.
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my man go free?
Don't want him pressing liscense plates down in this rotten hole.
He's gotta reach the outside,
before I lose control.
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my man go free
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my man go free
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my man go free
Please Mr. Jailer
Please Mr. Jailer
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my baby go free?
Please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my baby go free? Yeah yeah yeah
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.
So please Mr. Jailer, won't you let my man go free?
Well I know it won't be long now,
'Till they cut his hair off too.
