Allentown Jail

They locked up my darlin' in Allentown Jail,
Oh-oh-oh-oh!
And no one has come for to put up his bail,
Oh-oh-oh-oh!

They say at the courthouse he'll never go free,
Never go free!
For he stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond,
To give, to give to me!

Somewhere (somewhere in Allentown Jail) in Allentown;
My heart waits in Allentown Jail.

You know, I'm gonna dance for you, mister; I'll sing you a song,
Oh-oh-oh-oh!
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong,
Oh-oh-oh-oh!

But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong,
Oh, oh, can't you see?
Well, my love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond,
To give, to give to me!

Somewhere (somewhere in Allentown Jail) in Allentown;
My heart waits in Allentown Jail.

Somewhere in Allentown Jail;
My heart waits in Allentown Jail.
