Allentown Jail

Irving Gordon

[Verse 1]
They locked up my darlin' in Allentown Jail
Oh, oh, oh-oh
And no one has come for to put up his bail
Oh, oh, oh-oh
They say at the courthouse he'll never go free
Never go free
For he stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To give, to give to me

[Chorus]
(Somewhere), Somewhere (in Allentown Jail) in Allentown
My heart waits in Allentown Jail

[Verse 2]
You know I'm gonna dance for you, mister, I'll sing you a song
Oh, oh, oh-oh
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong
Oh, oh, oh-oh
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong
Oh, oh, can't you see?
Well, my love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To give, to give to me

[Chorus]
(Somewhere), Somewhere (in Allentown Jail) in Allentown
My heart waits in Allentown Jail
Somewhere in Allentown Jail
My heart waits in Allentown Jail
