Holloway Jail |
| They took my baby to Holloway jail |
| They took my baby, down Holloway jail |
| She was a lady when she went in |
| Now she’s in jail, and it’s giving me hell |
| She was just succeeding in the city |
| She was just beginning to excel |
| And then a spiv named Frankie Simes |
| Led her to a life of crime |
| And led her on the downward trail |
| Frankie came home late from work one evening |
| The C.I.D. |
| were hot on his trail |
| Frankie promised everything |
| And then he went and turned her in |
| She went and took the rap for him |
| Now she’s impaled in Holloway jail |
| They took my baby, down Holloway jail |
| They took my baby to Holloway jail |
| There ain’t no pity, there ain’t no bail |
| And she assures me that it’s living hell |
| She was young and ever so pretty |
| Now she looks so old and pale |
| She never sees the day |
| She wastes her life away |
| Sitting in that prison cell |
| They took my baby to Holloway jail |
| They locked my baby in Holloway jail |
| She was a lady when she went in |
| Now she’s in jail, and it’s giving me hell |
| She’s impaled in Holloway jail |
