Please, Mr. Jailer
Please Mr.Jailer, won't you let my man go free?
Please Mr.Jailer, won't you let me 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?
Well I know it won't be long now
'Till they cut his hair off too
Still 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?
Yeah yeah yeah
Please Mr.Jailer, won't you let this jailbird free?
Whoa ho ho
Just look into his eyes, open up that door
Just listen to his guitar, you'll know the score
Please Mr.Jailer, let an honest man go free
Yeah yeah yeah
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
And I'll be satisfied
Please Mr.Jailer, won't you let my man go free?
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
Yeah yeah yeah
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
