Johnny Cash — Orleans Parish Prison

[Verse 1] Well, have you seen my dark-haired girl? She was set on her love to a hungry world They got her clothes and the money she took And they wrote her name in the prison books [Chorus] Orleans Parish Prison won't you free my dark-haired girl? She's tired and cold and you got the gold She took from a hungry world Orleans Parish Prison won't you free my dark-haired girl? [Verse 2] Well have seen my green eyed son? He shot a man down with a sawed off gun And they fond him down by the Pontchartrain Where they cuffed his arms with a big iron chain [Chorus] Orleans Parish Prison won't you free me green eyed son? I heard him say as you let him away Sorry for what he's done Orleans Parish Prison won't you free me green eyed son? [Verse 3] Well have you missed my brother man? He took a little money with a gun in his hand Know the kids are hungry and the wife isn't well And the daddy's locked up in a prison cell [Chorus] Orleans Parish Prison won't you free my brother man? I know it's sad but he isn't bad He's doing the best he can Orleans Parish Prison won't you free my brother man?
