Prison Song lyrics

Artist  : Graham Nash 
Song : Prison Song



 Send "Prison Song" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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?



Another 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.
