Prison Song (LP Version)-Graham Nash

[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.
