Please, Mr. Jailer Lyrics by Rachel Sweet

Cry-Baby (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1990

Allison:
Please Mr. Jailer
Won't you let my man go free?
Please Mr. Jailer
Won't you let my 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?
All:
Please Mr. Jailer
Allison:
Won't you let my man go free?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Inmates:
Please Mr. Jailer
Won't you let this jailbird free?
Whoa oh oh!
Allison:
Just look into his eyes
Open up that door
Just listen to his guitar
You'll know the score
Cry Baby:
Please Mr. Jailer
Let an honest man go free
Allison:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
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
Allison:
Yeah I'm his alibi
All:
Please Mr. Jailer
Allison:
Won't you let my man go free?
Cry Baby and Inmates:
Well I'm tired of pressing license plates down in this rotten hole
Cry Baby:
I gotta reach the outside before I lose control
Please Mr. Jailer
Don't you make no lifer outta me
Alison:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Cry Baby and Inmates:
Please Mr. Jailer
Let me out of this penitentiary
(Whoa, whoa, let me out)
Please Mr. Jailer
Don't you make no lifer out of me
All:
Please Mr. Jailer
Allison:
Won't you let my baby go free?
Whoa ho ho oh, whoa ho
Let my man go free
Cry Baby:
Whoa oh oh
Don't make no lifer out of me
Please Mr. Jailer
Can't you see how much love she's got for me
Allison:
Well, let him go! let him go! Let him go!
Let my man go free. Yeah Whoa
Cry Baby and Inmates:
Please Mr. Jailer. Let me out!
Please Mr. Jailer, don't make me shout!
Please Mr. Jailer, Well let me out!
