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.
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.
Somewhere in Allentown Jail..
my heart waits in Allentown Jail.
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.
Somewhere in Allentown Jail..
my heart waits in Allentown Jail.
Somewhere in Allentown Jail..
my heart waits in Allentown Jail.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
