[00:27.36] |
One day a friend took me aside |
[00:31.07] |
And said I have to leave you |
[00:34.30] |
For buying something from a friend |
[00:37.56] |
They say I've done wrong |
[00:40.86] |
For protecting the name of a man |
[00:44.33] |
They say I'll have to leave you, |
[00:47.23] |
So now I'm bidding you farewell |
[00:50.77] |
For much too long. |
[00:53.97] |
And here's a song to sing, |
[00:57.43] |
For every man inside, |
[01:00.77] |
If he can hear you sing |
[01:03.99] |
It's an open door. |
[01:07.48] |
There's not a rich man there, |
[01:10.75] |
Who couldn't pay his way |
[01:13.95] |
And buy the freedom that's a high price |
[01:17.94] |
For the poor. |

Kids in Texas |
[01:24.91] |
Smoking grass, |
[01:27.73] |
Ten year sentence |
[01:31.65] |
Comes to pass |
[01:34.87] |
Misdemeanor |
[01:38.20] |
In Ann Arbor, |
[01:41.43] |
Ask the judges why |
[01:47.40] |
Another friend said to her kids |
[01:51.12] |
I'm gonna have to leave you |
[01:54.25] |
For selling something to the man |
[01:57.70] |
I guess I did wrong |
[02:00.56] |
And although I did the best I could |
[02:04.12] |
I'm gonna have to leave you |
[02:07.21] |
So now I'm kissing you farewell |
[02:10.68] |
For much too long. |
[02:13.73] |
And here's a song to sing, |
[02:17.08] |
For every man inside |
[02:20.56] |
If he can hear you sing |
[02:23.93] |
It's an open door. |
[02:27.36] |
There's not a rich man there |
[02:30.49] |
Who couldn't pay his way |
[02:33.72] |
And buy the freedom that's a high price |
[02:37.87] |
For the poor. |
