Prison Song in Graham Nash

Lyrics Prison Song in Graham Nash

Prison Song
Prison Song

One day a friend took me aside
And said i have to leave you
For buying something from a friend
They say i've done wrong
For protecting the name of a man
They say i'll have to leave you,
So now i'm bidding you farewell
For much too long.
And here's a song to sing,
For every man inside,
If he can hear you sing
It's an open door.
There's not a rich man there,
Who couldn't pay his way
And buy the freedom that's a high price
For the poor.

Kids in texas
Smoking grass,
Ten year sentence
Comes to pass
Misdemeanor
In ann arbor,
Ask the judges
Why?

One day a friend said to her kids
I'm gonna have to leave you
For selling something to the man
I guess i did wrong
And although i did the best i could
I'm gonna have to leave you
So now i'm kissing you farewell
For much too long.
And here's a song to sing,
For every man inside
If he can hear you sing
It's an open door.
There's not a rich man there
Who couldn't pay his way
And buy the freedom that's a high price
For the poor.
