Allentown Jail lyrics

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.
