They locked up my darlin' in Allentown jail, oh, oh, oh,
And no one has come forth to put up his bail, oh, oh, oh.
They say at the courthouse, he'll never go free, never go free,
'Cause he stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond to give, to give to me.
Somewhere in Allentown jail, my heart waits in Allentown jail.
Oh, well, I'll dance for you, mister, I'll sing you a song, oh, oh, oh,
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong, oh, oh, oh.
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong for can't you see?
My love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond to give, to give to she.
My love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond to prove his love to Me.
Somewhere in Allentown jail, her heart waits in Allentown jail.
Yeah, somewhere in Allentown jail. Somewhere in Allentown jail.
Somewhere in Allentown jail
