Please Mr. Jailor (Live At the Iridium, June 2010) [feat. Imelda May]

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man go free, ohhh

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man go free

That night in October 1953

How could he be in Frisco

He was home with me

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man go free, go free

You put him in a death cell

And then you change your mind

And then when you reprieved him

You give him 99! Ohhhhh

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man go free, ohhh

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man go free

I know that no other

One will ever do

And I know the answer

Is all up to you

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man go free, go free

I've been down here so often

You don't even ask my name

And if you keep him all his life

I'll be here just the same, ohhhh

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man go free, ohhh yeah

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man, won't you let my man, let him, let him go free, ohhhh

That night in October 1953

How could he be in Frisco

He was home with me

Please Mr. Jailer

Won't you let my man go free, go free, go free, go free, go free, go free
