Please Mr. Jailer |
| Please, Mr Jailer, won’t you let my man go free |
| Please, Mr Jailer, won’t you let my man go free |
| That night in October, 1953 |
| How could he be in 'Frisco, he was home with me? |
| Please, Mr Jailer, won’t you let my man go free |
| You put him in a death cell |
| And then you changed your mind |
| Then when you reprieved him |
| You gave him 99 |
| Please, Mr Jailer, won’t you let my man go free |
| Yeah, yeah |
| Please, Mr Jailer, won’t you let my man go free |
| I know that no other one will ever do |
| And I know the answer’s all up to you |
| Please, Mr Jailer, won’t you let my man go free |
| I’ve been down here so often |
| You don’t even ask my name |
| And if you keep him all his life |
| I’ll be here just the same |
| Please, won’t you let my man go free |
| Yeah, yeah |
| Please, Mr Jailer, won’t you let my man go free |
| That night in October, 1953 |
| How could he be in 'Frisco, he was home with me? |
| Please, Mr Jailer, won’t you let my man go free |
| Go free |
| Go free |
| Go free |
| Go free |
| Go free |
