Allison:
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

Inmates:
Please Mr Jailer, won't you let this jailbird free?

Just listen to his guitar, you'll know the score

Cry Baby:
Please Mr Jailer, let an honest man go free

Allison:

Cry Baby and inmates:
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

Allison:
Please Mr Jailer, won't you let my man go free?

Cry Baby and inmates:
