[ti:Prison Song (LP Version)]

[al:Wild Tales]
[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.
[01:22.09]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.
