PRISON SONG

GRAHAM NASH

Lyrics and music:Nash Graham William

Capo III

Key:

One day a friend took me aside

and said, "I have to leave you.

For buying something from a friend

They say I have done wrong.

For pro tecting the name of a man

they say I'll have to leave you.

So now I'm bidding you fare well 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 fare well 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.
