Birmingham Jail lyrics
Hear the wind blow boys
Hear the wind blow
Put your head out the window
And hear the wind blow
Write me a letter
Send it by mail
Address it all over
That Birmingham Jail
Birmingham Jail boys
The Birmingham Jail
Address it all over
That Birmingham Jail
High sheriff will arrest you
Bond you over in jail
Can't get nobody
To go your bail
To go your bail boys
To go your bail
Can't get nobody
To go your bail
Send for your lawyer
Come down to your cell
He'll swear he can clear you
In spite of all hell
In spite of all hell boys
In spite of all hell
He'll swear he can clear you
In spite of all hell
Give the biggest your money
Come back for the rest
Tell you to plead guilty
For he knows that it's best
He knows that it's best boys
He knows that it's best
Tell you to plead guilty
He knows that it's best
Down in the valley
The valley so low
Put your head out the window
And hear the wind blow
You can hear the wind blow
You can hear the wind blow
Put your head out the window
And hear the wind blow
