Allentown Jail Lyrics by The Lettermen

Allentown Jail / Two Brothers

1963

[Verse 1]
They locked up me, darlin', in Allentown Jail
Woah, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
And no one has come forth to put up my bail
Woah, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
They say at the courthouse I'll never go free
Never go free
'Cause I stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To give, to give to thee

[Chorus]
Somewhere in Allentown Jail
My heart waits in Allentown Jail

[Instrumental Break]
Woah, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
They say at the courthouse I'll never go free
Never go free
'Cause I stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To give, to give to thee

[Chorus]
Somewhere in Allentown Jail
My heart waits in Allentown Jail
Somewhere in Allentown Jail
My heart waits in Allentown Jail
Somewhere in Allentown Jail
My heart waits in Allentown Jail
