Allentown Jail Lyrics

Springfields Allentown Jail

They locked up my darlin' in Allentown jail, oh, oh, oh,
And no one has come forth to put up his bail, oh, oh, oh.
They say at the courthouse, he'll never go free, never go
free,
'Cause he stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond to give,
to give to me.
Somewhere in Allentown jail, my heart waits in Allentown
jail.

I'll dance for you, mister, I'll sing you a song, oh, oh,
oh,
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong, oh,
oh, oh.
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong for
can't you see?
My love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond to give, to
give to me.
Somewhere in Allentown jail, my heart waits in Allentown
jail.
My heart waits in Allentown jail
