Comments: This sounds kinda like a jazzy folk. Be true to the song, sing strong!

They locked up her darling in Allentown Jail Oh-
and no one has come for to put up his bail, oh-
They say at the courthouse he'll never go free,
Ne-ver go free-

'Cause he stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond
To gi-ve, to gi-ve to she-

Somewhere in Allentown Jail, her heart waits in Allentown Jail-!

Oh well she'll dance for you mister, she'll sing you a song
Oh_ oh_ oh_
But more then that mister would surely be wrong
Oh- Oh- Oh-
But more then that mister would surely be wrong, for can't you see?
Her love stole a diamond a beautiful diamond
to gi-ve to gi-ve to she-_

You'll find none like him though you search the world round
Oh- oh- oh-
And that's why you'll need the best lawyer in town
Oh- oh- oh-
You must find the lawyer the best one in town
For can't you see? Her love stole a diamond a beautiful diamond
To pro-ve his love to she-_
Somewhere in Allentown Jail, her heart waits in Allentown Jail-
Yes somewhere in Allentown Jail-
Somewhere in Allentown Jail-
Somewhere in Allen-town Jail-
