Please Mr. Jailer Songtext
von Wynona Carr

Please Mr. Jailer
Won't you let my man go free
Please Mr. Jailer
Won't you let my man go free

That night in October
1953
How could he be in Frisco
He was at home with me

Please Mr.Jailer
Won't you let my man go free

You put him in a death cell
Then you change your mind
Then when you reprived him
You gave him 99

Please Mr. Jailer
Won't you let my man go free
Please Mr. Jailer
Won't you let my man go free


I know that no other
One will ever do
And I know that the answer's
All up to you

Please Mr. Jailer
Won't you let my man go free

Been down here so often
You don't even ask my name
And if you keep him here all his life
I'll be here just the same

Please
Won't you let my man go free
Yeah yeah
Mr. Jailer
Won't you let my man go free

That night in October
1953
How could he be in Frisco
He was at home with me


Please Mr. Jailer
Let my man go free
Go free
Go free
Go free
Go free
