Allentown Jail Lyrics

On the charts in UK in 1966.
INTRO: Bm D Bm F#...Bm D Bm/A/F#/Bm A
#1.
They locked up my darlin' in Allentown Jail,
Ohhh..whoaaa, oooh.
And no one has come for to put up his bail,
Ohhh..whoaaa, oooh.
#2.
They say at the court house he'll never go free,
Ne.e.ver go free.
For he stole a diamond, a beauti..ful diamond,
To give, to give to me.
CHORUS:
Somewhere in Allentown Jail..
my heart waits in Allentown Jail.
#3.
You know, I'm gonna dance for you, mister, I'll sing you a song,
Ohhh..whoaaa, oooh.
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong,
Ohhh..whoaaa, oooh.
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong,
Oh, oh, can't you see?
Well, my love stole a diamond, a beauti..ful diamond,
To give, to give to me.
CHORUS:
Somewhere in Allentown Jail..
my heart waits in Allentown Jail.
OUTRO:
Somewhere in Allentown Jail..
my heart waits in Allentown Jail.
